Wealthsimple Tax review
A flexible Canadian filer for complex returns, with optional access to tax experts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Wealthsimple Tax is web-based Canadian tax software for residents with a Social Insurance Number who want to file their own returns with the option of paid support. It supports CRA and Revenu Québec NETFILE-certified filing, slip imports, employment and self-employment income, investment and rental income, capital gains and losses, foreign income, deductions, and tax credits. The product is available on the web, while its mobile app is no longer supported.
The Basic plan covers do-it-yourself filing, access to all tax forms, and a choose-what-to-pay model that includes $0. Paid plans build on that foundation. Plus adds priority email support and audit protection. Pro adds one-on-one guidance from a tax expert, year-round access to tax experts, and customized advice. Paid plans start at CAD 40, with pricing shown in CAD and excluding tax. This structure suits filers who want to keep filing costs flexible but may need assistance or audit-related support for a more complex return.
Its strongest fit is breadth within a Canadian DIY filing workflow. CRA My Account and Revenu Québec integrations support slip imports, while the feature set covers self-employment expenses, investments, rentals, foreign tax credits, and credits and deductions optimization. Audit support and expert consultations provide additional help beyond basic form completion. Québec filers should note that Pro is unavailable there, and anyone looking for a mobile app should choose another option. Wealthsimple Tax is a good match for Canadian filers who prefer web-based filing and want optional access to tax professionals; it is less suitable for users who require mobile access or Pro guidance in Québec.
