Donna Noble
Sometimes it's not enough to get your tax return fast. Sometimes you need it tomorrow. Well, for those people who need the money and don't have time to wait - or just don't have the patience to wait two weeks for direct deposit from the IRS - there's RapidTax.com. This web site not only calculates your return but will error-check, submit, and handle the direct deposit of your IRS approved tax refund, usually within 24 hours from the time the submit button is pressed.

RapidTax.com allows you to file your state and federal tax returns in as little as ten minutes when you use their services. Getting started is very simple, all you need is a username and a password to begin your registration and be on your way toward receiving your return. RapidTax.com takes those filing their return through a series of questions regarding deductions and income earned. Upon completion of the questions RapidTax.com calculates the income tax return amount and allows users to determine how they would like to receive their refund.

RapidTax.com offers two options for receiving income tax returns. The first option available allows customers to receive their returns in 8-14 days via direct deposit overnight check, or check by regular mail. The second, and more popular option allows customers to receive their return in as little as 1-2 business days. This rapid return is possible because Rapid Tax issues the refund to you upon approval of the return by the IRS. The IRS then issues your return to RapidTax. One of the best things about using RapidTax.com is that there are no upfront costs because the cost for services is taken directly out of your return.

RapidTax.com offers many pricing packages. The basic package for $14.99 includes email and live chat assistance, unlimited w-2 forms, itemized deductions and free electronic filing. The standard package retailing for $24.99 included additional services such as unlimited dependents, adoption credits, and earned income tax credits. For $34.99 taxpayers also receive alternative minimum tax, business income, and rental income. In addition to these services RapidTax.com also offers their Fast Refund loan for $29.99 (additional fees are charged by issuer of loan) and the 8-15 refund option for $29.99. State tax returns can be filed for an additional $19.99.

If you are interested in receiving your income tax refund quickly RapidTax.com can provide a fast and secure alternative to waiting for the IRS to issue your return.

    Tried out rapidtax.com. It was pretty smooth. The only problem was that I could not see my state refund right away. They said it will be an improvement for the 2008 tax season. Do plan to use again.
