EasyTaxUSA E-File Your 2025 Taxes

The IRS issues most e-filed refunds within 21 days, and choosing direct deposit is the fastest way to get it. Returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit can take a little longer early in the season. You can track your refund with the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool about 24 hours after your return is accepted.

Your Social Security number and those of your spouse and dependents, your W-2s and 1099s, last year’s return (for your prior-year AGI), records of deductible expenses such as mortgage interest, charitable gifts, childcare, and education costs, and your bank routing and account numbers for direct deposit.

Your adjusted gross income from your 2024 return is used to verify your identity when you e-file. If you didn’t file last year, or can’t find the number, you can enter $0 or use an IRS Identity Protection PIN instead. We’ll show you exactly where to find it.

Rejections are usually simple: a name or Social Security number that doesn’t match IRS records, a dependent already claimed on another return, or an incorrect prior-year AGI. We tell you exactly what went wrong, you fix it, and you resubmit at no extra charge.

Yes. Add a state return to any plan and we transfer your federal information across so you only enter it once. If you lived or worked in more than one state, we can prepare additional state returns as well.
