Electronic Filing Services

If you choose to file your return electronically, then after you have prepared and reviewed your tax return and directed EZ to electronically file your tax return, it will be converted to e-file transmission format and then transmitted to the applicable federal and/or state tax authority. In spite of prior approval, EZ does not guarantee that applicable tax authorities will accept your return as a result of factors which are beyond EZ's control (e.g., transmission and communications problems; failure of the tax authorities' systems to accurately interpret the data; your failure to properly input your information, discrepancies between your personal information and the information on file about you with federal and/or state tax and other authorities, etc.). It is your responsibility to file your tax return with sufficient time to meet any filing deadlines. In addition, you agree that it is your responsibility (and not EZ's) to verify the status of your return and confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable tax authority.

Communications

You agree that EZ may send you communications, some of which may be required by law, via email or by posting on our website.
