TurboTax Handles Changes in Your Life.

Your life has probably changed over the course of 2010. Maybe you graduated university and got a job. Maybe you got married or started an RRSP. Much of what changes in your life can impact where you stand as a Canadian taxpayer... so TurboTax Home & Business small business tax software helps you make sense of it all by asking "real life" questions that translate to fields in your tax forms.

TurboTax Personal Tax Profile asks you simple questions about your life. As you answer, TurboTax determines what tax slips and receipts you have to enter, and automatically applies the credits and deductions you qualify for.

Carry Forward Last Year's Tax Data. (Including UFile or H&R Block Desktop Software.)

Save time entering data by automatically updating your current year's return with personal information & carry over amounts from last year's QuickTax return. Even better, you cut down on human error when you automatically update, so accuracy is ensured. You can import from:

• QuickTax desktop software for the 2009 tax year
• UFile desktop software for the 2009 tax year
• H&R Block desktop software for the 2009 tax year

That means that, even if you used a different small business tax software program (or QuickTax) last year, you can still use TurboTax and reap the benefits without re-entering data.
