What TaxTron is
TaxTron provides tax preparation software for Canadian individuals, tax professionals, and corporations, with web and desktop options. Individual products support self-employment, investment, and rental income, and list CRA Auto-Fill My Return, ReFILE, T1135 electronic submission, pension splitting, and prior-year carry-forward. TaxTron Web also lists built-in diagnostics, Québec filing, and a tax return summary. Desktop individual software is available for Windows 10 or 11 and macOS 10.14 or higher. TaxTron says people with total income under $31,000, or qualifying full-time students, can use individual software free; a license is required to print or NETFILE other returns. The T1 Individual License for Windows costs $19.99, paid once and covers one return with income of $31,000 or more plus 19 additional returns under that threshold. The T2 Corporate Single License for Windows costs $129.99, paid once and supports federal and Alberta returns, but not Québec CO-17. TaxTron says its software is available in English and French, with support in English, French, Hindi, and Punjabi.
