Tax software for the iMAC

KKey · Feb 6th, 2010, 03:52 PM

I just got an iMAC and found out that QuickTax does not have a version for MAC - does anyone know of any tax software that does?

Since others answered your tax question accurately and well, forgive me a little nit-picking:

A Mac is short for "Macintosh." It's not an acronym, thus it should not be capitalised.

To put it another way:
mac: a waterproof raincoat made of rubberized fabric
MAC: a data communication protocol sub-layer, also known as the Media Access Control
Mac: a brand name which covers several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc.

Ditto for iPod.

Plus one for Quicktax Online.

I have been using it for four years now and it works just fine.
(You can usually get a discount going to the Quicktax Site through your Banks Website).

I use ufile, and it seems to work well, but I do not like the pricing of Quicktax.

Also, I prefer to have a local copy on my machine and am dissapointed that there are no "mac" versions, so I have to use VM for taxes.

I use Taxfreeway and found the link for this Mac software on the government website.

Here is a Excel spreadsheet that opens on a Mac as a T1 personal income tax form for most of the Canadian provinces.

It free but you can pay the $10 shareware fee if you like it.
