One flat price covers up to eight returns, which is the cheapest route for a household.
It means the CRA has tested the software and approved it to transmit returns electronically. Filing with uncertified software isn't possible through NETFILE.
If the software supports it and you have a CRA My Account, Auto-fill pulls your slips, T4s, T5s, RRSP contributions, straight into the return, which cuts both time and typos.
