For on the go taxpayers and those who just need a break.

If you have a hectic schedule or just want to relax at home after a long day, filing your taxes online could be the best option for you. No need for standing in long lines for a tax accountant.

All you need to do is follow these few steps:

  1. Create an account
  2. Enter your tax information (which is conveniently available by clicking user-friendly tabs for your personal information, income, deductions, and credits)
  3. Submit your account for a PDF of your return to paper file to the IRS and/or state!

We’ll prepare your tax return as soon as possible. Keep in mind, taxpayers who have a refund for the 2018 tax year are not subject to any penalties at any point they decide to file. Just make sure you file within three years of the due date of your return to claim your refund. In this case, claim your refund by April 15, 2022.

However, taxpayers with a tax due to the IRS should have filed by the 2018 tax year deadline; April 17, 2019 to avoid tax penalties.
