FAQ

How will I receive my filed return and confirmation?

All filings are electronic. After submission you receive an e-file acceptance or rejection notice and can download a PDF copy of your filed return for your records.

Can I change or cancel my filing after submission?

You can’t cancel an already accepted e-file; if a correction is needed you must file an amended return (Form 1040-X). Contact support promptly if you believe a filing error occurred.

Are discounts or promotions available?
