(BPT) - Thanks to the convenience of online tax return preparation websites, more Americans are doing their own taxes. Do-it-yourself tax preparation solutions give taxpayers a fast, convenient and affordable way to file income tax returns.
“Doing your own taxes really isn’t as daunting as it may seem,” says Jessi Dolmage, spokesperson for TaxACT. “Tax preparation solutions put the complicated tax code in plain English and give step-by-step instructions from start to finish. If you have questions, they offer resources and experts for help.”
