Tricks Other Services Play
Hidden Fees
Try looking at a price of $16.95 only to
find out that the state return is extra and so
is E-Filing, bringing your total up to $40.00 or
more. Our price includes everything, no
games. Or what about sites that charge for
individual credits and forms that you will need
to fill out your tax-return completely. What a
game!
Partial Support
The price seems extraordinary until you
realize, when it is too late, that the tax
software you are using barely supports the tax
forms you need to get the deductions and credits
you deserve. Remember, there are hundreds of tax
forms so why use a site that only supports a
few? One other partial support issue are sites
that force you to print your return, don't
support E-File, and don't do your state taxes,
leaving you hanging with your taxes only half
done. These costly sites end up costing you way
more than it's worth.
