With that said, here's how financial web apps can make tax season easier on you. 



The TurboTax App Saves Your Time and Money


TurboTax is the most well-known web app on the market, providing filers with the best easy-to-use interface out there. It offers more features than any other online service, making it useful for anyone filing a 1040EZ return to a large corporation filing more complicated taxes. If you've used this app before, you know that it stores your information, so you won't have to input it every time you file, which is a big time saver.

In addition to audit protection and helpful support, TurboTax offers customers without complex tax situations the option to file for free. You can get your refund on a debit card or by direct deposit.


The Where's My Refund App Tells You When to Expect Your Money


Once you file your taxes, you'll want to know when you can expect to get your refund. Sure, the IRS has had problems in the past sticking to deposit deadlines, but a date is still good nonetheless. In 2013, the IRS released the "Where's My Refund?" web app that lets users inquiry about their refund statuses.

Before this web app, filers were given projected dates. With the new app, filers are able to track where their refunds are and when they can expect to receive them. This is a major help for those scraping by, informing them when they can expect the extra financial help.

If you're organized, you might be able to find the right paperwork when you're filing, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from digitizing. With the FileThis app, you can file all your important financial documents online and have them readily available from either your mobile device or desktop. Whether it's a receipt, bank statements, utility bill, or insurance document, this app will help.

This makes tax season easier on you for two reasons: you get instant answers that don't prolong the process and you don't have to spend a lot of money to receive the financial advice you need.
