Details

1. Maximum Refund Guarantee: If your refund is larger or your tax liability is smaller using a different tax filing method, we will refund any fees from using our service and provide you a service code for a free amended tax return. The refund (or liability) difference cannot be due to a difference in the data supplied, credits or deductions claimed, or other variation in preparation. Calculation errors in other methods and positions contrary to the law will not qualify as valid proof for larger refund amounts.
