If accountants haven't heard of it, why would everyone other Canadian have heard of it?
You said it's mind bottling everyone in Canada isn't using it. If you haven't heard of it, it's hard to use it. I guess we could search the internet for free tax software programs, or we could just pay the $15 for the one we've used, trusted and know that it works. I'm guessing there are many, many things that are cheaper if I spent enough time looking for it. It didn't occur to me and my colleagues to search for free programs for tax software.
Does it cut into my profits? Since I don't prepare tax returns for other people, no it doesn't cut into my profits. Once again, I'm pointing out reasons people may not want to use it or may not use it because they don't know about it.
I know the information carries forward. I'm just saying that people might value their time over an annual fee of $15. If I have the choice between spending an hour or two transferring all of my information forward one year or paying $15 each year to not have to do it, I'm okay with spending the $15. I have a fairly complex return, so it would take more time than the average user.

Surprising a bunch of accountants haven't heard of Studio Tax? A bunch of Engineers told me about it at least 3 years ago. It is widely used these days and in the 100's of thousands that use it IIRC? Why wouldn't accountants know about it
