(BPT) - Making mistakes is one of Americans’ biggest fears at tax time. A single error can delay the processing of your return or even cause it to be rejected by the IRS. If that happens and you’re entitled to a refund, get ready to wait.

Today’s sophisticated tax preparation products make doing your own taxes perfect the first time at an affordable price – or even free – a reality for millions of Americans each year.

“Online and downloadable solutions have everything the vast majority of taxpayers need to file their taxes with complete confidence,” says Jessi Dolmage, TaxACT Spokesperson. "Using do-it-yourself tax preparation software solutions drastically reduces the chance of errors, especially if you import last year's return information.”
