CompleteTax Makes It Easier Than Ever to Do Your Taxes

Released December 21, 2011

RIVERWOODS, Ill. -- You work hard all year to earn your money, but you shouldn't have to work hard to get it back at tax time. You won't have to with CompleteTax® - the trusted online tax return software that gets you the biggest refund, with speed and ease.

CompleteTax is fast, accurate, affordable, and for many tax filers, it's free. And now, it's easier than ever to use. Based on customer feedback, we've simplified the interface, including the introduction of a new bookmarking feature, to further ease the process of filing your tax return online.

Through an easy, step-by-step process, CompleteTax enables taxpayers to quickly and easily complete and e-file tax returns online and provides a maximum refund as fast as possible. Throughout the process, our refund meter shows you the amount of your estimated refund so you can watch it grow.

The Basic version of CompleteTax, best for straight-forward returns, is absolutely free. CompleteTax Deluxe is ideal for people with itemized deductions, investments and retirement income. All versions include our comprehensive CompleteTax guarantees:

• Maximum Refund Guarantee - CompleteTax guides you to your biggest tax refund you're entitled to or your return is free;
• Price Lock Guarantee - No price surprises! It's only right that the price you pay - if any - is the same from start to finish, and with CompleteTax, it is. Once you start your CompleteTax return, your prices are locked-in and will not change;
• 100% Accurate Calculations Guarantee - All CompleteTax calculations are fully guaranteed for accuracy; and
• Satisfaction Guarantee - If you are not satisfied with CompleteTax for any reason, the purchase price will be refunded.

"Hands-down, CompleteTax is the high-value solution for people who want to do their taxes easily, accurately, and affordably," said Gary Lundberg, Product Management Director for CompleteTax. "There's absolutely no reason for taxpayers to pay more for another software solution. CompleteTax delivers what the big brands do - and more - for less."

New innovative features also enhance ease of use. This year, CompleteTax has a new bookmarking feature that helps you place reminders in the sections of your return where more information is needed, making the user experience even easier.

"All CompleteTax services and features are designed to make it easy for customers to start and finish their taxes quickly and confidently - so they can get on with their 'life after taxes'," said Lundberg.
