ImpôtExpert review
A flexible Canadian tax tool with strong Québec, family, and complex-return coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ImpôtExpert is Canadian tax preparation software for individuals and families, including freelancers, self-employed taxpayers, investors, and rental-property owners. It supports online filing in a web browser and downloadable Windows software, with federal, provincial, and Québec forms. Families can prepare returns for spouses and dependents, while eligible individuals or families with total income of $20,000 or less can file at no charge. Returns can be transmitted electronically through IMPÔTNET.
The product’s coverage extends beyond straightforward employment income. It can automatically import most tax slips from the Canada Revenue Agency and supports self-employment and freelance income, investment income, capital gains and losses, and rental-property income and expenses. Pension-income splitting calculations add useful support for households with pension income. Online returns can be stored for up to nine years, and the platform connects with the Canada Revenue Agency, Revenu Québec, and IMPÔTNET. This makes ImpôtExpert a fit for Canadian households with several income types or Québec filing needs.
The published plans separate online returns by taxpayer role: the first family member, spouse, and dependents each have defined return options, while PREMIUM individual and family plans add priority telephone, chat, and email support. Windows packages are available for four or twelve returns. The main limitation is platform scope: the desktop edition is for Windows, so it is less suitable for households seeking native desktop software on another operating system. Choose ImpôtExpert for Québec forms, CRA imports, family filing, or more involved income situations; consider another option if Windows desktop compatibility or a simpler single-return workflow is the priority.
