TaxAct Offers $100k Accuracy Guarantee & Maximum Refund Pledge

TaxAct Continues to Demonstrate its Commitment to Delivering Tax-Filing Peace of Mind, Backing Up its Promises with the Industry's Strongest Accuracy Guarantee


Cedar Rapids, IA – January 16, 2018 – TaxAct announces that taxpayers who use any of its 2017 consumer digital and download do-it-yourself (DIY) tax software products to electronically file their 2017 tax returns can benefit from the company's new $100k Accuracy Guarantee and Maximum Refund Pledge.

TaxAct guarantees their software is 100% accurate and gets taxpayers their maximum refund. If an error in any of TaxAct's 2017 consumer DIY solutions—TaxAct Free®, TaxAct Basic®, TaxAct Plus®, TaxAct Freelancer®, and TaxAct Premium®—results in a smaller refund or higher tax liability for 2017 than what a taxpayer would lawfully receive with another tax preparation product using the same data, then TaxAct will refund the software fees and pay the difference up to $100,000. In addition, if an error in the software causes product users to be audited by federal or state tax authorities and, as a result, they incur penalties or interest, TaxAct will reimburse the software fees and pay up to $100,000 to cover documented audit-related costs.

Other DIY tax software providers only refund their software fees if a customer receives a smaller refund or higher tax liability using their products compared to a competitor's product using the same data. However, they do not pay the difference, which makes TaxAct's $100k Accuracy Guarantee and Maximum Refund Pledge the strongest in the industry.

"Any e-filing service provider can promise taxpayers the maximum refund, but only TaxAct stands behind that promise," said Sanjay Baskaran, President of TaxAct. "We put our money where our mouth is when we tout the accuracy, convenience, and customization of our e-filing solutions, which gives customers the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to their tax return."
