“Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay extra for things like extra copies of their own tax returns or assistance from a real, live person,” stated ExpressTaxRefund.com spokesperson Michele Tyson. “At ExpressTaxRefund.com, we pledge that certain services, which most taxpayers would consider necessities, will remain free of charge.”

Those services include live telephone support from tax experts seven days a week; a hard copy of the taxpayer’s tax returns mailed to his or her home or business; and storage of every customer’s tax returns for three full years on the secure ExpressTaxRefund.com servers – all at no cost to the customer.

It is in stark contrast to the business practices of the company’s competitors, but, said Tyson, ExpressTaxRefund.com operates on the principle that customer-centric service should not be reserved only for those who can pay for it.

Since its inception in 2002, ExpressTaxRefund.com has been making it easy for customers to file their tax returns and tax extensions online. The company’s tax filing services, which start at $29.95, are fully automated and simple to use, thanks to the proprietary ExpressTaxRefund.com software. Customers simply answer a few questions, and ExpressTaxRefund.com does the rest. In as little as 15 minutes, the customer’s tax return is ready to sign and mail or e-file.

“Filing taxes is often a nerve-wracking experience,” Tyson said. “Live help, secure storage and free hard copies of returns are services ExpressTaxRefund.com can provide to make it easier on our customers. As a company in which tens of thousands of taxpayers put their trust each year, we feel we should not charge extra for peace of mind.”

Although the IRS filing deadline was later in 2007, ExpressTaxRefund.com reminds taxpayers returns or extension applications are due by April 15, 2008. To learn more, visit www.expresstaxrefund.com.
