UFile Reviews

???? do not use this service. It is horrendous. A complete waste of money. #scammers.

UFile Online works well, but their client service is absolutely atrocious. For that reason, I only gave them one star.
I read other customer reviews on this website as well as on the BBB's site. What I read validates my assessment of UFile (i.e., I am not alone).
My recommendation: Do yourself a favour and avoid UFile at all costs. This most unpleasant experience made me realise that there are other options out there.
Summary --- In December 2020, they accepted a credit card payment of $19.49 CAD from me for the following product (discounted price because I paid early): ''UFile ONLINE - Personal income tax (T1) return 2020 - Family head + 2 dependants''.
On April 29, 2021, I completed two tax returns, my wife's and mine.
I was able to electronically submit/file my tax return to CRA, but their system did not recognize that I had paid for the above service (i.e., for my two tax returns), so their software wanted to send my to the ''Proceed to Chekout'' page to pay for my wife's return.
My adventure with them, down the rabbit hole began when I tried to reach someone in their billing/accounts department (I've been a client since 2012) to explain my situation.
It has been impossible to reach them and speak to a human. I spent hours on the phone, on hold, first on their toll-free number, then on the Montreal one (514).
They have this automated system with """text recognition technology to provide a number of links with answers to similar questions [a full page of blah, blah]'', but it just sends people to an alternate universe.
Well, because my wife's tax return absolutely needs to be submitted on time, I ended up signing back in to my account and paying AGAIN for the service.
I have absolutely no hope, no expectation that they will contact me (see other reviews).

The Ufile Autofill feature does not work. It retrieves the tax slips from the CRA but leaves all the fields blank except the name. Poorly implemented software which is not tested.

I did the taxes with ufile. Went to pay when I was done. They double charged my credit card. There phone number doesn't work it just stays on hold so after a few days of trying I sent an email. They responded saying I was wrong so I sent them my bank statement. Then a couple weeks later they said it was being reviewed. Fast forward over a month they don't respond anymore. This place is a Scam and if you go to pay there's a possibility you will get double charged and never get your money back. Company is a joke. BEWARE

For 2 years in a row I have been led to believe that Ufile is free for seniors on CPP. Twice now it would not let me file until I paid ~$20. What is most annoying is that I am led to believe it is free until AFTER I am finished filling in all the info - then I can't file until I pay. Will never use them again, I feel scammed.

Can not access my account after several years of using ufile no response to customer service or email..... not good I will be calling CTV tomorrow to log a complaint

I recommend that you don't prepaid with one of those promotional emails because you will end up paying twice. If you try to reach customer service, well good luck because no one will ever pick up the phone. Getting support by email you will get an automatic reply with suggested link to answer your question... What kind of business is this?.. They quick to take your money, even twice, but no one to support - it may be just an all Artificial Intelligent business - who knows. Bottom you get no support and remember that before signing up, you may want to pay a few more dollars and use another software.

The old password doesn’t meet their new enhanced security standards, but the link to reset the password never arrives regardless of all the required questions being answered.

I have used Ufile service for many years, this year unfortunately I can't access my account and can't retrieve any files (lesson learned). I have called Ufile, but the line is constantly busy, and my emails have gone unanswered. I guess I have to start looking for a different provider. Ufile - your support service is literally non-existent and you failed me miserably.

they were good for years but they have updated things and its so god damn frustrating. I hope no one goes through these guys anymore. I used to have a sign in account with the last 4 years of all my past taxes... now it all deleted! so I made a new account(which also wasn't user friendly) then input my data then saved so I could come back to it. I tried to log in again and all my new info deleted! again! it didn't even recognize my email when signing in. HORRIBLE EXPIENCE! VERY FRUSTRATING! DONT USE THESE GUYS

I am the long time user of Ufile however Ufile upgraded their system and my user/password doesn't work anymore. I tried to reach their helpline but did not succeed. I filed the on-line form with the request to help me to resolve the issue but did not receive any response. The Ufile support failed me. I am practically forced to look into other on-line offers for my tax filing.

I think this is really good when i first went on here i understood it really well.
