Why on earth would the programming language matter. The programmer and the data matter. They ain't so good.
Here's my experience. I did the auto-fill. Since I have to paper file I decided to match "auto T-slips" to "paper T-slips". Here's what I found:
- CPP T4? were good
- OAS T4? were good
- T4? from former employer for retiree benefits was good.
- T5 from brokerage were good
- T5 from stock held outside of brokerage was good
- T5 from RBC for interest was missed by CRA but sent by RBC
- T3's: CRA had many (1 for each holding) from Vanguard and I-shasres. Brokerages consolidated them. They didn't identify the product, just the trustee. Couldn't tell wat was/was not included.
Eventually, I just deleted the autio-fill and prepared my return as always. Auto-fill was a total waste, I couldn't tell if what it included was accurate, but could tell it was innaccurate (no T5 for RBC interest).
Hopefully, anyone who relies on auto-fill won't have to pay a penalty for not understanmding that the Tx's sent from brokerages do not match the Tx's CRA has.
I don't intend to offend anyone, that part is just a bonus.
