FAQ

Common questions.

Is this a real tax filing service?

No — we're a refund estimator. We help you understand what you'll owe or get back, then route you to free official filing options (IRS Direct File, Cash App Taxes, FreeTaxUSA). We never charge to estimate, and we never charge to file.

How accurate is the estimate?

For W-2 employees with straightforward situations, very accurate — typically within a few hundred dollars. For self-employed, multi-state, or complex returns, the estimate is a starting point. The actual filing tool will give you the exact number.

Do you store my information?

No. Calculations happen in your browser. We never see your income, SSN, or refund amount. If you ask us to email you the results, we send the summary to your email address and discard it after 30 days.

Why is everyone using TurboTax / H&R Block if free options exist?

Marketing. The IRS has had a Free File program since 2003, but the for-profit tax software industry has spent millions making sure most people don't know about it. Our job is to fix that.

When should I see a real CPA?

If you have a business, rental property, foreign income, recent inheritance, audit history, crypto in significant amounts, or your situation feels confusing — pay a CPA. We can connect you to one.
