The company has representatives ready to offer advice and assistance to clients 7 days a week at no additional charge–a service many taxpayers have found to be invaluable as they file their tax returns and apply for automatic six-month extensions.

“There just aren’t many places where taxpayers can get free real-time help from a real person with answers to their questions,” stated ExpressTaxRefund.com representative Michele Tyson. “But it is common to have questions about the tax extension process. ExpressTaxRefund.com provides one place where taxpayers can apply for six-month extensions of the filing deadline and receive free telephone support. We want our customers to feel confident that they’ve done everything right when they submit those tax extension applications.”

Filing tax extension applications is just part of the package of customer-centric services ExpressTaxRefund.com offers its clients. Along with free 7 days a week telephone support, every customer is given the peace of mind that comes with using a simple interface that uses the company’s proprietary, industry-leading security software to safeguard customers’ information.

ExpressTaxRefund.com spokesperson Michele Tyson cautioned taxpayers that a filing extension does not equal an extension of the time allowed to pay.

“The IRS does require taxpayers to pay at least $1 of their anticipated tax liability when they file the Form 4868,” Tyson explained. “They then have an additional six months to file and pay the remainder of their liability.”

ExpressTaxRefund.com has been making it easy for its clients to file their tax returns and tax extensions since 2002.

With reports of identity theft on the rise nationwide, ExpressTaxRefund.com has beefed up its security system and practices. The site runs on secure socket layers (SSL), the same technology financial institutions use to safeguard client information online.
