I believe Turbo Tax is only free if you have a basic return. If you have any "additional" inputs (IE: RRSP contributions)you have to upgrade to a paying version.
As another poster noted, Simple Tax is a true FREE on line income tax program - regardless the complexity of your return.
In addition, it offers Auto-fill. If you have set up a MY Account at the CRA site, Auto-fill fills in all your t-slip information (which the government already has). You then fill in other personal info such as Manitoba tax and property/rental credit, donations, medical expenses, etc.
I used auto fill for the first time this year. Easy and cool.
