Why is preparation free?
Local preparation does not require TakoTax to run document processing or tax calculation servers on your behalf during normal use. The app and its preparation workflow run in your browser.
Why will e-file have a cost?
E-filing would require transmitting data to the IRS and state agencies, maintaining a filing relationship, handling rejections, and providing filing confirmation. Those operations require infrastructure and compliance work that can support a cost.
Will paid plans ever restrict preparation?
Local preparation and supported form downloads are intended to remain free. Any future paid features are expected to be additive, such as filing services, support tiers, or similar services, rather than gates on the core preparation experience.
How are e-file fees handled?
Built-in e-file is not available yet. If it launches later, the fee, payment timing, refund policy, and filing scope will be shown before you authorize any transmission. TakoTax does not charge based on a percentage of a refund, does not offer refund anticipation loans, and does not hold taxpayer funds. See the E-file Disclosures for the formal e-file framework.
Which states are supported for e-file?
State e-file is not available yet. The state support page shows current calculation coverage; e-file scope will be published separately if electronic filing is enabled.
