Intuit TurboTax announced the availability of TurboTax Self-Employed, Canada's only tax preparation software specifically designed for those in the gig economy. Self-employed Canadians have to understand potential deductions, untangle business and personal expenses, and may even have to keep track of multiple streams of income. This year, tax preparation for self-employed individuals may be particularly daunting, as a recent survey commissioned by TurboTax Canada found that 60% of self-employed Canadians are feeling uncertain about maximizing their tax return because of pending legislative changes.
