“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.

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.”
