I have used for 5 years and am quite comfortable with it. 00:27:00 Tom Trottier: or use for free & copy to paper fomrs 00:27:31 Tom Trottier: " we are asking for your help by paying $15.00 for a license before printing and/or filing your returns. The single license is good for the maximum number of (20) returns allowed by CRA (20 returns/$15.00). As per CRA requirements, you can only file 20 returns per computer. As a result, buying 2 licenses will not give you 40 returns per computer. We are still offering the software for free for users with total income(line 15000) less than 20K and for our northern residents (NT, YT, NU). In this case you will not need a license or need to activate StudioTax 2020 in order to Netfile and print your returns. 00:28:56 Tom Trottier: "What 00:29:07 Tom Trottier: 's a "cheque" ? 00:31:10 william Bradwin: Been using studio tax for years.
