Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi,

 

I have both Canadian and US citizenships and returned to Canada 2 years ago after working 16 years in the US.

 

I have been paying a tax accountant to complete my Canadian and US tax returns but am now looking to save some money if I can do it myself (I used to use Turbo Tax in the US).

 

I believe that I can use Turbo Tax Canada to complete my Canadian tax return and Turbo Tax US to complete my US tax return but my main concern is whether either software will help me to submit both tax returns correctly by considering the tax treaty between the 2 countries.

 

My tax returns should be pretty straightforward as I do not collect any wages.  The only forms I have are for interests and dividends and for the investments I still have in the US (I get a tax package every year end from my financial advisor with details on the buys and sells for my accounts).

 

Can you please tell me if Turbo Tax is my solution or do I have to keep paying my tax accountant to complete the returns for me?

 

Thank you!
