eSmart Tax---a leader in federal and state online tax preparation—makes its 2013 debut today as the popular online tax preparation platform is now open for business.  In late October, eSmart Tax went on a short hiatus so that it could perform system updates for the upcoming tax season.  New and returning customers can now sign up for FREE using eSmart Tax’s easy sign in process. 

The new eSmart Tax system features the latest tax forms for filing this upcoming tax season as well as the following features that make tax preparation easy, fast, and fun:

  • A Product Wizard to help choose the right product for you
  • Answers when you need them with free live chat all season long for everyone. Easy-to-access knowledgebase with up-to-date  FAQs
  • Certified professionals that have your back in the event of an audit with CPA Audit Assistance
  • Accuracy, customer satisfaction, and the biggest refund—guaranteed.

“We’re thrilled to begin another great year of online tax preparation,” says Paul Walters, eSmart Tax’s Marketing Director.  “Our many features are designed to make online tax preparation fast, easy, and convenient for all users, no matter how simple or complex the return is.”

While Basic tax preparation for simple returns is always free, from now until January 18, eSmart Tax is offering the lowest rates on its Deluxe and Premium products. Taxpayers with dependents can start a Deluxe return for free and lock-in the pre-season price rate of $9.95.  Business owners can sign up for our Premium product free of charge and secure the season’s all-time low price of  $29.95.

eSmart Tax also makes it easy to prepare a state tax return.  Complete your federal return through eSmart Tax’s easy and convenient tax platform and eSmart Tax can securely transfer your information into a state return.  Get online state tax preparation and filing for the low price of $9.95 until January 18.
