We are committed to making your total experience a positive one. Upon entering your
information, we will transmit your tax return information to the Internal Revenue
Service ( IRS);
a process known as " e-file".
We do not, however, guarantee that the IRS will
accept your return. Although we take certain steps to insure the accuracy of your
return, it may be rejected for a variety of reasons, some of which are beyond our
control. If your return is not accepted we offer a money-back guarantee. With this
service you are filing "self-prepared" taxes. We do not offer tax advice and make
no guarantees or representations regarding the quality or accuracy of the data you
enter. |
