HR Block’s 2019 tax software – pick a package that’s right for you

Built for Canadians by Canadians, our 2019 tax software has everything you need to get your taxes done right. Backed by our maximum refund and 100% accuracy guarantees*, our 2019 tax software covers simple and complex tax situations, is safe, secure, and encrypted, and provides personalized step-by-step guidance. Regardless of which package you choose, you’ll be able to NETFILE your return as soon as the service opens for the year.

*Notes:

• Maximum refund guarantee - If you find another tax software preparation method that results in a larger refund (or smaller liability) than that calculated by the H&R Block online tax software, we will reimburse you the purchase price of that other method. See the End User License Agreement for full terms and conditions.
• 100% accuracy guarantee - If there is a calculation error in your filed return that is attributable solely to our software, we will reimburse you for any resulting CRA and RQ penalties and interest charges.

Here are some awesome features that are included in our BASIC 2019 tax software:

• Handles simple and complex tax scenarios – Regardless of whether you need to file a simple return with just a T4 slip or have a complex return with self-employment income, investments, and/or rental income, our BASIC software has you covered.
  
  
• Auto-fill my return (AFR)/Téléchargement des données fiscales (TDF) - You can download your slips, RRSP information, carryforward amounts right into your return directly from the government – reducing time and data entry errors.

• Express NOA – You no longer need to wait for weeks to get your notice of assessment (NOA) from the government! You can now request an Express NOA from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) after you successfully NETFILE your return and see it right there in the software.
  
  
• ReFile - If you already filed your return online but you need to make an adjustment, you can do that in the application with the ReFile functionality; edit/adjust your return and re-file it online with the CRA.
