It's just about tax time and there's no lack of do-it-yourself options for filing your taxes. We've compared a good number of tax preparation products below. Some are free, some can handle provincial returns for Quebec, and some aren't equipped to deal with self-employment income. There is definitely something for everyone here.

If you're not sure which product you'd like to go with, keep in mind that many offer the option to pay only upon submitting your return so you can play around, run your numbers, and see what you think of the product (and even how your refund works out) before settling on one.

This year, like every year, filing your return online via NETFILE instead of mailing it in will get you a faster refund. And of course, the sooner you file the quicker you'll get your tax return.

There are a lot of great programs here -- for simple returns we like the free programs from TurboTax (previously known as QuickTax) and StudioTax. If you're thinking long-term you may want to purchase GenuTax -- pay once and you'll be able to use it for free in the years to come.
