Preparation tools include CRA Auto-Fill, GIFI import from accounting software, forms mode, diagnostic auditing, print preview, and customizable print formats. Filing options include Corporate Internet Filing, Alberta Filing, T1135 electronic submission, S89 and T2042 eDocs, and Express Notice of Assessment downloads.

The current-year download is free, but a license is required for EFILE and printing, including zero-income or loss returns. Professional licenses are listed at $395, paid once for Windows and Macintosh.
