It used to be that people had a home computer and if they had a secondary device, it was a phone or a tablet. But what’s becoming increasingly clear is that the phone, tablet, or even the “phablet” is becoming the device that people have and use primarily. Understanding that need is Intuit who has recently launched TurboTax Free for iOS. It allows you to do your taxes on your iPhone or iPad easily and painlessly.
There’s a bunch of things that TurboTax Free has going for it:
- It has no income caps.
- You can import tax info from the Canada Revenue Agency which allows you to fill in the blanks on such items as your T4 statements and RRSP info. That saves you time and effort.
- It’s designed from the ground up to make filling out your taxes on a phone or tablet to be easy from the perspective of navigating on a phone or tablet.
- It has all the power of the TurboTax software that you find online and in boxes in your local retailer.
- It covers a number of scenarios that one could encounter. For example, it had no problems dealing with the fact that I am self employed.
- It is built with security from the ground up.
Downsides? It’s English only. That’s a bit of an issue as Canada has two official languages and I would have expected French to be supported. The second downside is that all tax situations are covered except Federal and Provincial returns for the Province of Quebec. That’s a bit unfortunate as well. Hopefully those get addressed before tax deadline day which is April 30, 2016.
It’s available for download now from the App Store. If you’re a person who uses a phone or tablet as their primary device, and you want to do your taxes yourself. Check out TurboTax for iOS. As long as you’re not in Quebec or filing a federal return,.you’ll find it very easy to use and a great way to get your taxes done as painlessly as possible.
