UFile is a Canadian tax-preparation software that allows individuals to prepare and electronically file their personal income tax returns. The product exists in both an online (“UFile ONLINE”) version and a downloadable desktop version (“UFile for Windows”), and it is certified for use with the CRA’s NETFILE system for the 2017-2024 tax years. The software supports features such as Auto-Fill My Return, Notice of Assessment retrieval, and ReFILE for eligible years.

One of UFile’s major benefits is its flexible pricing: it offers fully free filing for certain circumstances (for example, first-time filers, students, low-income taxpayers) and has paid versions for more complex situations (investments, rental income, self-employment).

The interface aims to guide users through different tax scenarios (employment income, investment, rental, self-employment) and automatically explore credits and deductions.
Strengths include its certification by the tax authority (which adds trust), its breadth of support for more complex tax matters (beyond simple T4 returns), and its “free for many” offering which reduces cost barrier for many Canadians. On the flip side, some user reviews point out that the interface may feel less polished compared to newer competitors; customer-support responsiveness has been flagged occasionally; and the free eligibility criteria may limit access for those with more complex returns.

In summary: if you are a Canadian taxpayer with anything from a simple to a moderately complex tax return and you want to take care of your filing online or via desktop software, UFile represents a solid option. For very complex tax-planning, cross-border issues or advisory services you may still want specialist help.
