Services 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. 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.
Upon using our services, you will be prompted to disclose certain information about
you and your business, and you will be able to store information on our Web site.
In order to set up an account, we ask you to create a user name and password. You
are responsible for any use of our services by persons to whom you intentionally
or negligently allow access to your password, if any.
After registering an account, to prepare your tax return you will be prompted to
enter information to complete United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax forms.
This includes information such as your employer identification number, contact information
(name, email, address), vehicle details, tax deduction(s) and information about
your business, if any. With your consent we will file your return with the IRS and
charge you a fee for this filing service. In this case some of your information
will be sent to IRS who will need this information to process your tax return. Billing
information, such as a credit card number, will also be requested so we may process
your order.
Refer-A-Business: If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about
our site, we will ask you for your friend`s name and email address. We will automatically

to efile your federal excise tax. We collect and use information necessary for us
to complete and file your tax returns, bill for services, and to maintain the security
of our site.
Information Sharing
We share your information as required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to
efile your tax return. We send credit card information to our credit card processor
for the purpose of processing your transaction. We also use a Third Party to provide
some customer service features. We do not share, sell, rent or trade personally
identifiable information with third parties for their promotional purposes. We reserve
the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law
and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to

Our site uses SSL encryption using an Godaddy security certificate to protect sensitive
information online. We take several precautions to protect user-information off-line.
All of our users' information has restricted access. Only persons authorized by
us and who require the information to perform a necessary task are granted access
to personally identifiable information.

as not to compromise your privacy in any way. We do not store your credit card information
in our database. We transmit it securely to our credit card processor and we do
not store your credit card number. By the act of not having your credit card on
file, your credit card information is kept secure.
Email Policies

phone number. Such communications would only be performed if we need to speak to
you about your tax return and our efile services used to submit that return. We
will not sell, share, or rent this information to any other individuals or organizations.
Because tax filing is important, it is important that we be able to contact you
about your tax return. Up until the time your tax return is accepted by the IRS
you have the option to delete your account information ("opt out"). To opt-out,
please use the "Business Information" link after you login to your account. Once
your tax return has been accepted by the IRS you may no longer delete your account
information.

information. As an IRS requirement, your IP address and email address are linked
and shared with the IRS as personal information. Other log information is kept for
security reasons. That data is used to prevent or discover a hacker and will not
be used for other purpose.
