TaxACT Press Release - December 12, 2005
TaxACT Users Can Now Prepare, Print and E-File Returns Without Charge
2005 Federal Editions Make Tax Preparation Stress Free, Cost Free for all U.S. Taxpayers
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Dec. 12, 2005 - 2nd Story Software Inc., developer of America's most trusted, value-priced line of tax-preparation software, today announced that
users of its TaxACT Standard 2005 Federal editions can e-file their tax returns without charge through www.TaxACT com, as well as prepare and print them for free. This
unprecedented offer makes preparing taxes electronically possible for everyone.
"Tax preparation and filing should be convenient and affordable, but that may not be the case this year for many taxpayers as the industry evolves," said Lance Dunn,
TaxACT's president. "TaxACT, however, remains committed to our heritage of making electronic tax preparation as easy and inexpensive as possible. We're doing that this
tax season by freeing all U.S. income taxpayers from any cost to prepare, print and e-file."
TaxACT's 2005 Standard Federal editions are designed to address the other challenges that taxpayers face beyond the unnecessary cost burden. Each year, taxes grow
more complicated due to ever-changing regulations, new and confusing jargon, and the extensive personal organization required to manage an overwhelming preparation
and filing process.
"Not only do Americans want to eliminate costs associated with completing and filing their returns, they want to remove the pressure they experience during 'tax season' and
ensure that their returns are accurate and on time," Dunn said. "TaxACT Standard 2005 Federal editions make that a reality by simplifying the electronic filing process and
making it stress-free and fast."
This year's edition of TaxACT Standard Federal features an easy seven-step process with a friendly Q&A format in plain English and reference tools for in-depth assistance.
The simple organization, "intelligent" questions based on the user's previous answers, and alerts feature to flag incomplete or incorrect information make the process
convenient, speedy and reliable. The edition also automatically collects information for state returns, which makes preparing a state return just as fast and easy.
For eight consecutive tax seasons, TaxACT - the first tax-preparation software company to offer free e-file capabilities- has been a pioneer in free tax preparation. Now
TaxACT is making it possible for everyone to prepare, print and e-file their taxes for free.
