TaxACT Launches Its Free Tax Planning Solutions for 2014 Tax Returns - Seite 2

Centralized accounts and a cleaner design

Starting this year, TaxACT Online customers can manage their returns and information from one secure account, accessible through any Web browser on any device. From My Account, you can access all 2014 and future tax returns, see the status of returns and federal refunds after e-filing, and update your account information. 

My Account will also integrate with TaxACT's mobile apps. The Donation Assistant® app for tracking charitable donations will become the first integrated app in the coming weeks. 

To make navigation easier and tax preparation faster, all TaxACT 2014 consumer products have been updated with a cleaner, simpler interface.

Unbeatable value

Other DIY brands require taxpayers with complicated situations to upgrade to higher priced products. TaxACT Free Federal and Deluxe Editions include all e-fileable IRS forms -- twice as many forms as other solutions. 

It's always free to prepare, print and e-file federal taxes with Free Edition. TaxACT Online Deluxe ($12.99) and State ($14.99 with Free Edition, $5 with Deluxe) lead in value, with low pricing guaranteed, regardless of when users file. Payment isn't required until viewing completed forms, printing, e-filing or redeeming Deluxe phone help.

Consumers can e-file starting in early January when TaxACT is updated with any last-minute tax law changes and final tax forms. TaxACT will submit returns to the IRS and state agencies as soon as possible in mid to late January. 

TaxACT's tablet and smartphone apps for filing 1040 tax returns will be released soon. 

New DIY solution for Estates & Trusts tax returns

Taxpayers can now file Form 1041 returns easily and affordably with TaxACT Estates & Trusts. The program utilizes the same Q&A format of TaxACT's other solutions to simplify allocating income, deductions, and credits to beneficiaries, and issuing Schedule K-1s necessary for beneficiaries' tax returns.

Introductory pricing for the online and download Estates & Trusts solutions is $29.99 per federal return and $14.99 per state return with free e-file.
