5. Intuit Services.

Electronic Filing Services. If you would like to file your tax return electronically, the Software may provide you with an opportunity to file electronically via NETFILE or Corporate Internet Filing (if applicable) with the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) or Revenu Québec (individually, a “tax authority” or together the “taxing authorities”). If you select this option, Intuit will send you a confirmation of the submission to the CRA after sending your tax return to the taxing authorities on your behalf. You understand and agree that your tax return will be stored on your local computer hard drive and Intuit will not store your tax file on our servers. You are responsible for ensuring that your tax return is submitted to the proper taxing authority. Intuit does not guarantee that the taxing authority will accept your tax return. You are entirely responsible for verifying the status of your tax return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the taxing authority and, if necessary, resubmitting it electronically or filing it manually.

Import Services. The Software may include a feature that allows you to import certain tax-related information from the CRA, Revenu Quebec, participating payroll processors and financial or other institutions. If the Import Services are available to you, and you choose to use them, you are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the information that is imported. Intuit bears no responsibility for this information. Should you take advantage of the Import Services, your relationship concerning the Import Services is with the information providers, and Intuit disclaims all liability that might arise from your use of the Import Services. 

Help and Support. Intuit may use a variety of methods (e.g., in-product help, Internet resources and online chat) to provide technical support and customer service in connection with the Software and Services. The terms and conditions governing the offering of this support, some of which require the payment of an additional fee, are subject to change as made available by Intuit from time to time. Consult the Intuit Support website (currently, http://support.intuit.ca) for the most up-to-date information relating to this support and any associated charges. The Software is subject to Intuit’s discontinuation policy and in its sole discretion, Intuit may terminate technical and other support for the Software after December 31, 2026. 

Assist and Review Service (excludes TurboTax Business Incorporated Edition). You may be offered an optional Assist and Review Service where we will review your tax return with you to ensure that you have accurately accounted for the items in your tax situation in TurboTax (the “Assist and Review Service”), if made available. You understand that as part of this Assist and Review Service, an Intuit tax expert (e.g., Certified Public Accountant or seasoned Tax Preparer) will be available to answer questions as you prepare your return and to review your federal and provincial tax returns for accuracy and completeness based on the information you have entered into TurboTax. By using the Assist and Review Service, you authorize Intuit to have access to your tax returns. While the tax expert may be able to view your tax returns and provide you with feedback, the tax expert will not be able to make any changes on your return. You are responsible for making any changes resulting from the Assist and Review Service in your tax return. You are also responsible for filing your return. If you choose to use the Assist and Review Service, you understand and agree that Intuit will not sign your tax return. Service levels and availability will vary based on demand and capacity and are subject to change without notice. The full terms and conditions governing the Assist and Review Service will be available on the Assist and Review website, and by accessing and using the Assist and Review Service, you agree to be bound by those terms and conditions, which supplement, and supersede where inconsistent, this Agreement. Fees may apply. 

The following tax-related topics are not included as part of the Assist and Review Service even if your tax return may relate to any of the following:

Like kind exchanges

Estates and trusts (T3 returns)

T2 corporate/business returns

Non-resident or expatriate returns

Issues unrelated to the preparation of the tax return or unrelated to income taxes (i.e: sales, use, inheritance, etc.)

Bankruptcy questions

Tax or investment planning questions

Audit or audit risk questions

Other Business incorporation-related questions

Multiple jurisdictions (Form T2203)

Prior year tax returns

Internet access is required to use the Assist and Review Service. To ensure a good experience and appropriate levels of coverage for everyone using the Assist and Review Service, the tax expert may terminate the communication at his/her sole discretion after a reasonable period of time or if it is otherwise determined that you are misusing or unnecessarily extending the duration of the communication. Intuit reserves the right to terminate the Assist and Review Service at any time.

Pursuant to Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) guidance, be advised that any federal tax advice given to you, including anything provided to you in writing, is not intended to be used, and it cannot be used, by any person or entity for the purpose of avoiding penalties imposed under the Canadian Income Tax Act and Regulations.

If made available, our Assist and Review Service will be provided to you based on your tax returns and the information you provide to the tax expert. You understand and agree that the tax expert is not able to verify the information you provide to the Software, and that if you provide or enter incorrect or incomplete information, the information provided to you may not be accurate. You understand and agree that the tax expert will not sign your tax return. You have the sole responsibility for reviewing your tax return(s) and confirming their overall accuracy and completeness prior to filing.

Notwithstanding any expert accuracy guarantee which may apply if you choose to use an Intuit tax expert to assist with your return (see offer and order details), you are responsible for the overall accuracy of your return and for the data you provide and/or enter into your final tax return. 

The Assist and Review Service does not include any legal or investment advice, estate or investment planning, or other areas of advice.

ReFILE Service (excludes TurboTax Business Incorporated Edition) ReFILE allows you to make changes to your previously filed CRA tax return using NETFILE for tax years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Fees may apply. ReFILE is not available to users who print and mail their return. ReFILE is also not available for Revenu Quebec Filings. Tax year 2021 CRA returns must be amended and refiled no later than November 30, 2025.
