Reading Time: 4 minutes

DIY is for more than just home projects. Do-it-yourself taxes are the new hot thing in the market today! Don’t automatically assume that you need to go to an accountant’s office to do your taxes.  Most people are more than capable of preparing their own returns using tax software, even first-time filers. ezTaxReturn.com has made doing taxes easier for millions and millions of taxpayers since 1999. There’s no sitting in a crowded office waiting your turn because you will be filing from the comfort of your home (just don’t get distracted by Netflix).  We guarantee your biggest possible refund and offer step-by-step guidance. If you’ve never done your own taxes before, here are some good reasons to start now.

1. It’s cheaper than hiring a professional

The average tax preparer charges $176 to file a non-itemized Form 1040 and state return.  With an online tax preparation service, you can do your taxes yourself for a lot less money.  In fact, hardworking Americans with a basic tax situation can file a FREE federal return with ezTaxReturn.com.

2. FREE customer support

ezTaxReturn makes doing your taxes as easy and stress-free as possible by offering simple step-by-step guidance.  We use language that’s easy to understand and ask questions designed to help you maximize your refund. Less than 10% of people who use our program ever need customer support, but we have bilingual representatives standing by just in case.   You can either ask a question using our secure portal or request a callback, whichever is convenient for you.

3. Uncle Sam owes you a refund

Most people who file a tax return get a refund.  So far in 2023, more than 49 million tax refunds have been issued. That’s extra money you can save or use to pay bills. However, the only way to get your hands on the cash is to file a tax return.  The good news is ezTaxReturn.com makes it easy for you to do your own taxes even if you’ve never done taxes yourself before. We help you get all the credits and deductions the law allows so you receive the biggest possible refund. Combining e-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your money.

4. You don’t want to become a victim of tax fraud

The longer you wait to do your taxes, the more time criminals have to file a fraudulent return on your behalf.  Remember, taxpayers can only file one federal return per year, so if they file using your information before you file, you can kiss your refund goodbye.  Your return will be rejected when you try to file, and the crook will be off to find their next victim.  Don’t leave anything to chance, the best way to file your taxes online is with ezTaxReturn.com.  It’s fast, easy and you may qualify for a FREE federal return.

5. You can get tax help in Spanish

Taxes are confusing enough without language barriers getting in the way. So, we’ve expanded our service to help the Spanish-speaking community. ezTaxReturn.com is now available in Español. File your taxes online without the worry of something getting lost in translation. We’ll guide you every step of the way and if you need help, one of our bilingual customer service representatives can lend you a hand. All ezTaxReturn customers get FREE customer support.

6. You can file now and pay later

Waiting until the last minute to file begs for rushing to make a mistake. The closer you get to the deadline, the more competition you’ll encounter. If you forgot a record needed for a credit or deduction, you’ll have to scramble. If you need customer support, you may have to wait in line. And if you’re surprised by an unexpected tax bill, you may not have the time you need to come up with the cash. That translates into extra cost for penalties and interest. Filing early saves you hassle and stress. Maybe trimming non-essential expenses from your budget will help pay the unexpected bill or maybe you’ll need to get a part-time job to cover your debt.  But the earlier you file, the more time you’ll have time to weigh your options. Then you can send the IRS a check, pay by credit card or have the funds withdrawn on a specific date. Or you can plan to apply for an installment agreement and make monthly payments.

7. Like it or not, you’re required to file anyway

It may not be your favorite activity but if you earned more than $12,950 in 2022 then you are required to file a tax return.  So, do it now and get it out the way. ezTaxReturn.com makes preparing your own taxes fast, easy and dare we say it, almost fun.  Like a GPS, we’ll guide you through your return from start to finish.  As long as you enter accurate information, you’ll get accurate results.
