Easy and Simple to use

I have used the service from CloudTax last year and recently. I found it simple and straightforward, with easy to navigate interface. That's the reason I am returning again for filing return for another year.

CloudTax is not user friendly

CloudTax is not user friendly. I generally try a few tax software programs, but these people are doing a bait and switch. Forms were difficult to access, but I managed till I tried a split pension income calculation and then I was notified I have to pay $39 to get this feature. That means it is NOT FREE.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

To clarify — pension splitting can still be done in CloudTax Free. However, the pension splitting optimization tool, which automatically calculates the most beneficial split between spouses, is included in our Plus plan.

We want to assure you that CloudTax remains completely free for Canadian tax filers, with optional upgrades for users who want additional features or expert support.

If you’re a Plus user and have any issues with pension splitting, our team would be more than happy to assist you. Please reach out to us at [email protected], and we’ll ensure it’s resolved promptly. 😊

Don't Bother: A Total Waste of Time

Doesn't allow for medical deductions or charitable donation deductions. Repeatedly auto-filled duplicate tax slips (e.g. would auto-fill 2 exact same T4 slips, doubling my actual income, with no way to remove the duplicate). Repeatedly glitched on my mailing address, saying it was missing, despite my entering it multiple times (i.e. each time it disappeared & showed up as an "error"). In section to claim BC Renters Tax Credit, would not accept anything but "1" in "number of months [of tenancy]" cell, so had to fill in all information 12 times (i.e. in 12 separate rows) to claim for the year.
Anyway, never could get these things straightened out, so ended up not filing via CloudTax due to all of the
issues noted above. A total waste of time!

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. CloudTax does support medical and charitable donation deductions, and you can also enter “0” in the donation field, in the end, to proceed with your return for free.

If you ever need to remove duplicate tax slips, there’s an easy way to do so — simply hover your mouse over the menu to delete pages, or use the red trash icon beside each form.

Our support team is always here to help at [email protected], and we respond to every single email.

We’d also be happy to offer you a complimentary review for your next year’s filing so you can experience the improvements we’ve made.

Please consider giving CloudTax another try next season — and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. :)

Trusted Canadian business with fabulous expertise and personal service

I highly recommend CloudTax to do your annual revenue Canada personal tax returns. I can't say enough about how easy the CloudTax application is including auto links to all your CRA tax slips. Even better is the caring service from Nim, the owner, and the staff at CloudTax. You can choose to buy extra help and their charge is low and worth every penny. Their review has reduced my tax bill significantly by techniques like income splitting. Being able to rely on CloudTax reduces my anxiety about getting my taxes and my Mom's taxes done!

Easy and Reliable Tax Filing with CloudTax

I used CloudTax for my recent tax filing, and it made the process straightforward and stress-free. The platform is user-friendly, with clear, step-by-step instructions, even for handling more complex parts of my return.

Knowing that CloudTax is certified by the CRA gave me confidence, and I appreciated the option to e-file directly. The free option for simple returns is a great feature, and having access to support from tax professionals was very reassuring.

I highly recommend CloudTax for anyone in Canada looking for a reliable, easy way to file their taxes.

3 years strong with cloudtax + more

I've been with cloud tax for 3 years now. I initially switched from wealthsimple because I started a side-gig selling my crafts online and didn't know where to start. I booked an online appointment with a tax expert and she was absolutely amazing, kind and very patient with all my questions.

I also forgot to add some expenses and emailed them back a few months afterwards and they made the change for me. I've had different tax experts the following years after and all of them have been knowledgeable and the whole process was pretty easy and straightforward from my end.

Avoid This Company At All Costs!!!

Have you ever wished that there was a negative rating? I never did until my experience with CloudTax. Consider this a dire WARNING to anyone considering using CloudTax for their tax filing needs: I used this company to file my taxes with the CRA last year, and they failed to file them even after taking my money. It wasn't until I tried to file my taxes this year that I discovered the issue after being notified by the CRA and had to deal with the consequences of their mistake last year. They refunded me the original amount after a year of having it and not filing my taxes. I hoped for at least twice the refund amount along with a letter acknowledging their mistake, which I believe was a fair request. I requested at least the letter; however, CloudTax never followed through. Their mistake caused me significant trouble, and I would not want anyone else to go through the same ordeal. The people who work here do not seem to take complete ownership of their mistakes. They even tried to push some of the blame on me for not notifying them of a missed Notice of Assessment, despite the fact that I am an immigrant who relied on their supposed expertise to handle my tax filing. Unfortunately, I was royally screwed in the process for placing my trust in such a company. I urge you to steer clear of CloudTax and use a more reliable and trustworthy tax preparation service like H&R Block or someone else. Using CloudTax is like playing Russian roulette – you may not end up suffering, but are you willing to take that chance? Learn from my absolutely detrimental experience and avoid this company like the plague!

P.S. Please feel free to contact me if you want to see all the evidence of their mistake. It may help you avoid this company if you are contemplating using their services.
