Required income for free filing

[johnspack]

What is the required maximum income for filing a free return?  I tried to file my 70 year old room mates tax,  and was charged 20 dollars.  He is on pension supplement and gets

less than 20k a year,  like me on disability.  I get free,  he has to pay 20 dollars,  what's up?  We are both far below poverty level.

Hello Nawal,

I purchased Ufile from Best Buy good for 4. 

On the box that contains the activation key, it says that I get 4 more additional tax returns for people with an income of less than 25k. Two questions:

1/ Do I have to exhaust all 4 returns before getting the additional returns good for the less than 25k income...?

2/ How do I get the free returns...?

 

Thank you

Hi @BFB, no, as soon as the total income on the return is below 25k, the free returns counter will be hit. Otherwise it will be the counter for paid tax returnss. There is no order. Thanks

My apologies Nawal.

Your response was not clear to me. Let me see if I understood you correct.

If the Total Income (Fed line 15000 and Quebec line 199) is less than 25k, when the Tax Return button #4 at the top toolbar is pressed, only the free return counter will be activated and will not consume any of the 4 regular returns counter. Is my understanding correct...? 

[Nawal]

Yes @BFB, that is correct.

Thank you very much Nawal. You had been most helpful.
