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

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...?

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