What do Mac users use for tax software? Seems like the software is all for PC.

Quicken and others let you do it online in your browser now so you may want to consider that instead of software.

 

[supergenius]

Yep, I just use ufile through my browser. No installation required.

Unfortunately I've had to use a VM running WinXP for the past couple of years.

I'm not yet fully trusting of the web thing when it comes to tax returns. It takes several iterations before I have everything figured out and I wouldn't like to keep that info stored on some companies server. It's bad enough I need to trust the Feds!

Hopefully some of these tax software companies will see the ever expanding none windows market as an untapped fountain to be exploited.

I second ufile http://www.ufile.ca/default.asp used it for a few years now and very pleased with it.

There's also this I heard about on another forum but have no personal experience with:

I've been using TaxTron (formally GriffTax) since 1991.

Thanks Gino, that looks pretty good.

I used Taxtron for a couple of years then I switched to Taxfreeway because it was a bit cheaper. I think you can try it and it will cost you only if you want to print or netfile.

I was satisfied using both but I am far from an expert.

Good luck.

Quicktax works fine in a browser, and you can usually google a discount code to get a break in price.

I usually buy the Mac version of Quicktax, works great

 

[notsure]

jshel, according to them that's the browser based option. It is not running "native" on the mac.

Yes! There Is A QuickTax Option For Mac Users.

Mac users, you can use QuickTax online editions directly in your Mac's web browser. If you surf on Safari, find facts with Firefox, or get informed with Internet Explorer - you can use any of those browsers to log on and work on your taxes - anytime, anywhere.

There's no software to download, no CD to install and no compatibility program to use. Just turn on your Mac, select a browser you already use and log in to get your taxes done and filed - quickly and easily.

I never buy the browser based option.

Any chance you have a link handy?

An excellent Canadian frebee for a few years now, but I don't think it runs on Mac.

FYI Ufile.ca is updated to do your 2010 taxes. Netfile won't be available until Feb. but you can always plan what you're doing with your refund.

i've used TaxFreeway for 4 years and its great.

There is only a browser version available for the Mac. CD and downloads for turbotax are PC only.

Got my notice for Taxfreeway that their software is CRA Netfile certified for tax year 2010. The Mac version is $5 more than the Windows version. And then for $5 more than that you can get the 3 in 2010 package that has versions for Windows, Mac AND iPad. You need to get a license to print or Netfile and that license allows 20 returns.

Just a satisfied customer...

I have used Taxtron since Quicktax for mac went away.

No issues and I like it. File online.

I have a natural suspicion of putting my personal income on the interwebs through a browser interface, though this may be irrational.

I have problems with TaxFreeway for Mac.
1. It does not report T4RIF information correctly.
2. It does not provide a Worksheet for Other Income and Deductions.
3. There is no way of contacting TaxFreeway or Entropy Technology Ltd. about it.

You could end up filing a return with thousands of dollars error in your tax payable
