FWIW, we're taking on TurboTax in Canada, https://simpletax.ca.

The Canada Revenue Agency introduced an API this year that enables us to auto-fill much of the return: https://help.simpletax.ca/questions/how-to-use-afr.

When do you guys think you'll tackle Quebec? There's a tech scene here, tons of people would jump on-board instantly (as well as help develop it).

We added Federal Québec support this year and plan to add the provincial component next year: https://simpletax.ca/jobs.

Québec is a challenging province because of Revenu Québec and Bill 101.

It is, but I also think it is worth it. I will point the few accountants I know in your general direction.

Simple Tax is great. I've been using it for the past few years and it has worked flawlessly despite a relatively complicated tax situation. Kudos!

I've been using SimpleTax for the past four years and it's top-notch.

I've also been working on @suter for about that long to get them to make the years before 2012 available via SimpleTax, for those of us who have friends that have let their taxes slide for a long, long time. Hopefully one of these days the cost/benefit will work out.

I've used simple tax for my last two fillings and I must say kudos to you all on such a great product.
