FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to be a tax expert to use this?

Not at all. prep.tax handles the categorization, math, and IRS forms. You just review and approve.

What if I have multiple income streams?

That's exactly what we're built for. Drive for Uber and sell on Etsy? We handle both, separately, with the right categories for each.

Is my financial data safe?

Yes. We use 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest, with read-only bank connections. We never sell your data.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — one click in settings. Your free trial requires no card.

Will this replace my accountant?

For many gig workers, yes. If you keep one, prep.tax cuts the back-and-forth by 90%.

Tax season can be your easiest week of the year.

Join thousands of gig workers who never panic about taxes again. Set up takes one minute.
