Your max tax refund is guaranteed.
Thinking of switching online tax prep providers this year? Look no further.
E-filing with TaxAct® gives you the tools and expert support you need to file taxes yourself and ensure you get the tax refund you deserve. After all, your tax refund is money you’ve already earned — we just want to help you get it all back.
1. Hard to beat prices
At TaxAct, we don’t believe you should have to pay a premium price to file your taxes. Make the switch to TaxAct’s DIY e-file solution this year to file your federal tax return for less than TurboTax1. Our prices are not only easier on your pocketbook, but our easy-to-use software makes taxes less complicated, so you’ll feel confident filing.
2. File confidently with a $100k Accuracy Guarantee
Any tax software provider can promise to help you get your biggest refund possible.
At TaxAct, we go one step further by creating a guarantee that stands above the rest. Choosing to file with any of our TaxAct consumer online products provides the added comfort of knowing your return is backed by our Maximum Refund and $100k Accuracy Guarantees2.
With the strongest accuracy guarantee in the industry, we are confident our software is 100% accurate and will get you your maximum refund. If we’re wrong, we’ll refund any tax filing software fees, pay any difference in your lower refund or higher tax liability, and cover any legal or audit costs up to $100,000.
With an accuracy guarantee like that, the better question is, why wouldn’t you choose a tax prep provider with that level of confidence?
3. W-2 import capabilities
We strive to make the online tax filing experience as painless as possible, and one of the ways we do this is with our W-2 import feature. Simply snap a photo of your W-2 form, upload your photo or PDF to our website, and we’ll take it from there. Our tax filing software will import the information from your W-2, so you don’t have to worry about painstakingly inputting each number yourself. Less worrying about typos and time saved? Yes, please.
4. Protect yourself with Audit Defense
Raise your hand if you’ve ever worried about getting audited by the IRS.
When you e-file your federal income tax return with us, you can opt to enroll in Audit Defense, provided by Tax Protection Plus3.
Audit Defense gives you peace of mind in case of an audit by handling the situation on your behalf. If you get audited, just give Protection Plus a call. You will be assigned a trained tax audit specialist to guide you through the next steps. Your dedicated specialist will manage any necessary correspondence with the IRS for you.
Audit Defense gives you federal and state audit assistance for three years after filing your return. In addition to audit assistance, Protection Plus can also help taxpayers with tax debt relief, denied tax credits, and tax fraud.
5. Talk to real tax experts
This year we’re offering expert tax advice with Xpert Assist℠ available as an added service with all returns4.
Our tax specialists can give you expert tax advice and answer questions you have throughout the filing process. If you wish, an expert can also give your return a quick review before you file for extra peace of mind.
Even if you’re pretty confident with DIY filing, it’s nice to know our experts are available just in case a new scenario or question pops up for you while e-filing.
6. ProTips for peace of mind
