How TaxDashers works, pricing, security, and refunds.
Please never send Social Security numbers, tax documents, or bank details through website forms or email. When it's time to share confidential documents, we'll send you a secure link to upload them.
We work to prepare your return quickly, but refund timing is controlled by the IRS and your state, not by TaxDashers. The IRS says most e-filed returns with direct deposit are refunded in less than 21 days, though some take longer. You can check your federal status anytime with the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool.
Yes. Smart technology handles the busywork like scheduling and document checklists, but a real tax professional prepares and reviews your return. You can chat with our team, request a call, or book a consultation.
Start online with a short form. A TaxDashers tax professional reaches out to talk through your situation, then you upload your documents through our secure client portal. We prepare your return, you review and sign it, and only then is it filed.

Use a separate bank account or card for business, save receipts digitally, and keep a mileage log if you drive for work. Consistent records make filing easier and support your deductions.
Ordinary and necessary business expenses may be deductible, such as supplies, business mileage, a qualifying home office, and the business portion of your phone. What qualifies depends on your situation, so keep good records and review them with a tax professional.
Generally, if you expect to owe $1,000 or more in federal tax for the year after withholding and credits, the IRS expects quarterly estimated payments. We can help you figure out whether this applies to you and how much to pay.
A 1099-NEC or 1099-K generally means you earned income as an independent contractor or through a payment platform. That income is usually reported on Schedule C and may be subject to self-employment tax. A tax professional can walk you through it.
