Company description
Express Tax Lane® (ETL) enables companies to offer popular, fast refund tax return services without becoming a tax expert. Express Tax Lane is designed for simple short form (1040A) or 1040 with Schedule A tax clients.  Just log on to the ETL website, ask your client some simple questions in a web-based interview format, fill in the blanks, gather some basic documents, and electronically submit the tax return to the processing center.  Our staff of licensed and highly-trained tax preparers will review and prepare the finalized return and transmit it to the IRS and state tax agencies (where applicable.)  


Once the tax return is approved, you print your clients refund check and you’re done. Since your fees and our fees are deducted directly from your client’s tax return, there are no payment transactions to manage.  It’s that simple. Give us a call or go on our web site.

Team

Express Tax Lane is based on very new technology.  It is internet-based so you can simply logon to your account and you’re off and running.  No software to download.  No technical issues to fight through.  Just get on the internet and you’re ready to start making money.


You pay $375 to create your initial account with us and you can start working with your customers at tax season.  Do some simple marketing to let them know you offer this service and you will quickly see the return on your investment.


Tax season runs from about mid-January to April 15—for most Express Tax Lane customers peak times are even shorter than that.  If you did 300 tax returns with your customers in that short first quarter timeframe, you would add $30,000 to your bottom line.  All for $375 and some time for us to train your staff.

Competitive advantage

 

 

The whole concept is easy.  You interview your client when they come in with their tax paperwork for the prior year, things like W2’s and end-of-year mortgage interest statements.  During the interview, you or the customer doesn’t even see a tax form.  You just ask them some questions, enter it into the computer as you’re interviewing them, and finish the process.  It takes about 15 minutes.  When the interview is complete, the data is sent to our service bureau in Dallas, Texas, and our certified tax team double checks everything.  When the return is ready, we send it electronically to the IRS.


We are with you all the way—from early training to marketing and other support as needed.  We provide you with sample marketing materials—from coupons to banners  to postcards—even audio and video clips for you to do radio and TV advertising if you want.


The bottom line: we make money if you make money and we do everything we can to help you succeed in adding a profitable new service to your business.
