When you've completed your simple tax return with QuickTax Platinum, save yourself a stamp and save a tree... by choosing to file with NETFILE2 instead of printing out your forms and mailing them in to the CRA. Many people who file with NETFILE get their refunds in just 8 business days.
To NETFILE, you'll just need an Internet connection and the online filing code the CRA provided on your 2008 personal income tax return package (along with your Notice of Assessment).
