VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Competing online tax companies have recently made claims about “free” audit support with varying degrees of fine print.  Some companies offer this service, but only for those customers who pay for their higher-tiered products.  To give taxpayers even more confidence in the quality of its tax preparation services, eSmart Tax provides complimentary CPA Audit Assistance  to every customer—regardless of which product they use—at no charge.  In case of an IRS or state audit, eSmartTax.com guarantees CPA support throughout the entire audit process for all customers.
