Questions about Online Tax-Preparation and
E-Filing
Q. What is online tax-preparation?
A. Online tax-preparation is a secure, complete,
and easy way for any individual or married
couple to prepare their federal and state
income-tax-return. By simply visiting the
IntsaFILE website an individual will be guided
through our powerful tax program by filling out a
series of simple forms which will in turn
correctly calculate their federal and state
taxes due. Upon filing of the return, including
the option to E-File the individual can then
have their tax-refund direct-deposited right
into their checking or savings account.
Q. What is E-File?
A. E-File allows any individual the opportunity
to file their federal and state tax-return
directly to the appropriate regulatory bodies
for automatic submission. This reduces the time
required to file a tax-return, speeds up
tax-refunds, and eliminates the errors and cost
of mailing in a return.
Q. How many people will use
online tax-preparation and E-Filing?
A. The IRS predicts that over 85 million
Americans will use electronic filing in the
coming years.

tax-return. InstaFILE affiliates earn a minimum
of $5 per completed tax-return and that figure
can go up to as high as $7 per completed
tax-return for affiliates that send in a

Questions about affiliate commissions and
payments
Q. How do I find out how
much money I've earned?
A. You can view your real-time affiliate
statistics at any time by visiting the
affiliate statistics page. Three numbers are
presented on this page which will provide you an
accurate view or your earnings to date.
Q. How are payments issued?
A. Tax season runs roughly from January 15th to
April 30th. From April 1st to April 15th the IRS
estimates that 60%-75% of all tax-returns are
filed. Since the majority of all affiliate
revenue is generated in April, affiliate
payments are issued on May 15th. Exceptions can
be made for affiliates who generate in excess of
$1,000 in their affiliate account prior to March
31st. You can Contact Us
for details on receiving an early payment. It is
important to note however, that most individuals
find their E-File tax provider in February or
March and simply wait to finish their tax-return
in April. Therefore, affiliate marketing done in
the early months of tax-season can help you to
have a very strong April. Payments are issued by
check and mailed May 15th.
Q. What if I would like to
receive an early payment?
A. Exceptions can be made for affiliates who
generate in excess of $1,000 in their affiliate
account prior to March 31st. You can
Contact Us for
details on receiving an early payment.
