UFile.ca Offers Free Filing for all Canadians 60
Years of Age or Older
Free File Friday is back as UFile builds on its commitment
to making tax filing easier for all Canadians
February 1, 2007 - Montreal, Quebec - Dr Tax
Software, the largest Canadian-owned tax software developer
for the consumer and professional tax community, is
pleased to announce that Friday, February 23rd marks
the return of Free File Friday, which provides Canadians
age 60 and over the opportunity to prepare and file
their tax returns online, at no charge, using UFile.ca.
This special offer does not require that the tax return
actually be completed or filed on that particular day.
If you are 60 years of age or older and would like to
take advantage of Free File Friday, simply go to www.UFile.ca
on February 23rd and open a new or existing tax file.
One of the benefits of UFile.ca is that participants
can prepare their tax return with no obligation, and
print or NetFile whenever they are ready.
"Free File Fridays is just another example of
our commitment to making tax filing easier for all Canadians,"
says Malcolm Campbell, Vice President and General Manager
of Dr Tax Software Inc., makers of UFile.ca. "UFile
will also be used by the Canadian Revenue Agency's (CRA)
Community Volunteers Income Tax Program (CVITP), to
assist people who are unable or do not know how to complete
their income tax and benefit returns."
Canadians with incomes under $25,000 can also use UFile
file for free at any time during the year.
UFile's calculation engine has been used to prepare
millions of tax returns for all provinces and territories.
Those who choose to participate in Free File Fridays
can take advantage of UFile's powerful MaxBack refund
analyzer, which saves money by finding every possible
deduction and transfer to minimize your taxes and maximize
your refund. Last tax season, over 46 per cent of web
software users chose UFile.ca to NetFile their tax return.
Available online since 2000, UFile.ca was the first
online tax product ever certified for NetFile by the
CRA. Owned and operated by Canadians, UFile can prepare
tax returns for all provinces and is available in French
as ImpôtExpert.ca (formerly ImpôtWeb.ca).
UFile is also available in retail stores, which allows
consumers to complete and electronically file their
personal income taxes through NetFile for $19.99. The
online version, UFile.ca starts at $15.95.
