I got married before the end of 2020 so I had to disclose such fact in my 2019 tax return. In the etax electronic form, there is a space for the Social Security of my husband. However, he is a British citizen and not a US resident so he does not need a US Social Security number. The form will not get me past the social security requirement and so I called customer service. The person on the other end of the line did not know what to do and told me to just file SINGLE! Huh? I called IRS and they said I should put NRA on the space per IRS Publication. So, I call etax back and told them I need to put NRA on that particular space. The agent told me "Sorry, you cannot use etax then." WHAT THE HECK? This situation is NOT RARE. It is very simple and they shoud know how to address this. It is in the IRS publication (Publication 501page 7) Telling me to declare SINGLE is NOT THE CORRECT advise.

I've been using these guys etax.com for years and I'm very happy with the service. At least they pick up the phone right away when I call.

Understood most of the questions I was asked. Support was fine. Will use it again. The point is to pay fewer taxes.

Do not use this company for tax filing purposes. First of all, I'll preface this by letting you know that there is a reason this company does not offer a contact number for customer service. There is literally no way to reach Etax.com, if you have problems and wish to speak with a representative in person. We have concluded that this is a matter of convenience for them and purely intentional.) Etax.com makes claims and assures the customer that particular services are offered for reasonable prices, but when the time comes to file, Etax.com takes the money but then runs when there is an issue that needs a resolution. When we attempted to file our taxes, there was an issue, and when we tried multiple times to receive assistance, we continued to see illuminated messages from different agents, who directed us to our personal inbox (there we were to receive assistance). Nothing happened. Etax.com neither contacted us via personal message box, nor helped us at any point afterwards, so we had to find a different tax filing company and ultimately paid twice to file our taxes. When we addressed this with Etax.com, they ignored us and failed to offer a refund (despite the fact that issues on their site caused us to almost miss the deadline.) The real issue here is that this company misrepresented their service, so when the actual return was not filed legitimately, and was rejected (due to the negligence of Etax.com), we had to go elsewhere. Hindsight is 20/20. Had we only known, we could have saved ourselves hours of time, wasted money and an endless headache with this company thereafter. This company is clearly a scam. They will take your money and run, and when you attempt to resolve issues with them (rightfully so), they ignore and shun you.

I realized being single with my one paying job I've had with no changes, I just needed a simple way to file my taxes. It didn't cost much either.

Ripped off

I thought that I was doing my tax through Mygov. I have since worked out that it was not so and they have charged me nearly $100. So pissed off.
