Did not get feedback on my application after doing the multi-hour take-home
That was on me a bit because I left the email thread hanging for a long time but when I did finish it (and they were still hiring), it would have been nice to hear a yes or no
My personal solution is to boycot companies that do this, and should they come up in conversation mention they arbitrarily block legitimate users from their services
For the last couple of years, my T4, pension, RRSP, and some of my pension forms have all been imported automatically into CRA, and then into Turbotax.
So maybe it's an optional thing for some employers?
Of course, would be great to just skip the Turbotax portion.
I think that all employers are now required to input the T4/remuneration information in a way that CRA can machine-process it, which allows them to make it available to third-party systems like TurboTax or SimpleTax.
But yeah, for the large majority of us, having the option to skip TurboTax and just use a pre-filled, government generated tax return would be great.
