Some tax situations may not qualify or be eligible for Full Service.

Intuit will not be responsible or liable for your failure to do so.
You Are Responsible for the Accuracy of Your Tax Return. All tax advice relating to the preparation of your tax return and the work necessary to prepare that return will be provided by the Tax Return Preparer who will sign your return as the tax preparer and have responsibility for the overall substantive accuracy of calculations in the return. However, you are responsible for providing accurate and truthful data and other information to the Tax Return Preparer and for reviewing your tax return before it is filed to verify its overall completeness and accuracy. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of your tax return(s).
TurboTax Live Full Service Guarantee. The following guarantee shall apply only to returns filed using TurboTax Live Full Service for individuals. TurboTax Live Full Service Business not included.
If you are a registered user of TurboTax Live Full Service and you pay a CRA or provincial tax penalty and/or interest as levied in a first notice from such tax authority (and not as a result of a negotiated payment plan), and such penalty and/or interest is due solely to an error your TurboTax Live Full Service Expert made while preparing your return, and not as a result of, among other things:
then Intuit will reimburse the amount actually paid by you to the tax authority in penalties and/or interest as levied against you in such first notice – but not any taxes owned, or amounts, penalties, or interest due, payable or paid by you as a result of a further/late notice or payment plan you may enter into (or have entered into) with such tax authority.
You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and for providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" is a user of TurboTax Live Full Service from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit an assigned TurboTax Live Full Service Expert to file a tax return prepared using the TurboTax Live Full Service version of the Services and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
If you believe such an error occurred, you must notify Intuit as soon as you learn of the mistake and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the penalty or interest is assessed.
To initiate a claim under this Guarantee, please contact Intuit using the instructions set forth on our website, as currently published at: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/turbotax-support/en-ca/help-article/return-product-license/submit-claim-turbotax-live-full-service-100/L04YOz5oJ_CA_en_CA. You will be required to provide all tax-related documents, and any other relevant documents or information we reasonably request, either electronically or by tracked mail (to ensure proof of delivery), to enable Intuit to validate and process your claim. To validate a claim Intuit may require, among other documents, a copy of your tax return (particularly if you did not electronically file), a copy of the notice from the tax authority and any other documents to support proof of income, credits or deductions. You are responsible for maintaining all information and documents that may be relevant to the accuracy of your tax return. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping Intuit apprised promptly of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be contacted and notified of Intuit’s decision on your claim.
This Guarantee cannot be combined with the Accurate Calculation Warranty or the TurboTax Satisfaction Guarantee above.

For Tax Year 2022, you may be offered a version of the Services whereby you can use TurboTax Live Full Service to prepare and file a certain type of business tax return.

During this limited pilot test, only a small number of T2 returns will be accepted and only for a limited time period. For the pilot test, only Canada Inc or Ontario Inc corporations that solely operate in Ontario are eligible, and such corporations cannot have any permanent establishment elsewhere. Furthermore, these corporations cannot have more than 251 bookkeeping transactions, more than two bank accounts, or more than one credit card used for business.
