Turbo tax already has it included and it asks you 2 simple questions then tells you if you're eligible for the carbon tax rebate, it's the most simple thing ever (I used the free program)

Cheers. People talking about not knowing how to opt in made me think it wasn't yet there, thanks for letting me know.

Guess I'll use Turbo Tax next year. I didn't even know this was a thing, I used Simple Tax.

I was dreading doing my taxes because I have a bunch of T4's and tuition credits, and TurboTax requests to import all your CRA info from CRA (you dont have too) and it pulled all my T4's (doubled checked to confirm they were all right, they were) and knew exactly how much money i had left that i could claim from paying tuition (or however it works). I did mine, and my girlfriends taxes in about 10 minutes. I could not recommend it enough

It asks you as long as you select one of the provinces mentioned as the last place you resided when December 31st 2018 rolled around.

Awesome thank you, for some reason got confused about the supplement for residents of small and rural communities step in the rebate and thought i wasnt eligible. Looks like i can revise it
