HOW TO USE UFILE
All Uofs graduate students being members of the GSA are also members of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). CFS has negotiated with UFile.ca to offer students free, online tax filing. UFile.ca is one of Canada's leading online tax filing services. Although the service starts at $15.95 per use, members of the Federation are provided with a code to access UFile.ca for free-year round. Students can use U File.ca to file taxes for their spouses, partners and/or dependents. The service is also available in French at impotexpert.ca. Special code offer: CFS1981
