Terms of Service

Last updated: September 7, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using AutoFileTax.com ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

AutoFileTax.com provides AI-powered tax return preparation and a directory of listed Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). We generate Form 1040 PDFs and exports. We do not e-file with the IRS. You are responsible for submitting your return. The Service includes:

• AI-assisted IRS Form 1040 generation from uploaded tax documents
• PDF download of completed tax forms ($29 / $59 / $89 via PayPal)
• Export to TXF, MeF XML, and CSV
• A directory to find and contact listed CPAs
• Optional Featured listings for CPAs (paid advertising)

3. Not Tax Advice

AutoFileTax.com is not a tax advisory firm and does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. The AI-generated forms are tools to assist you. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your tax return. We strongly recommend having a qualified CPA review your return before filing with the IRS.

4. User Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.

5. CPA Directory

AutoFileTax.com lists independent CPAs as advertising. CPAs on the platform are independent contractors, not employees of AutoFileTax.com. Featured listings are paid advertisements. We verify CPA licenses using AI and manual review, but we do not guarantee the quality of any CPA's work. You contact listed CPAs yourself. Engagements, fees, and disputes are between you and the CPA — AutoFileTax does not hire CPAs, hold funds, or process their fees.

6. Payments

• PDF Downloads: One-time payment of $29 (simple), $59 (medium), or $89 (complex) via PayPal for access to your completed tax return PDFs.
• CPA work: Arranged and paid directly with the CPA. AutoFileTax does not hold or split review fees.
• Premium sponsor: CPAs may pay $999 via PayPal for a 1-year directory listing. We do not invoice.
• Refunds: PDF purchases are non-refundable once downloaded.

7. CPA Terms

CPAs registering on the platform agree to:

• Provide accurate license information and identity verification (including last 4 digits of SSN)
• Maintain an active, valid CPA license in their state
• Comply with all applicable professional standards and regulations
• If purchasing a Premium sponsor listing, pay $999 for one year via PayPal; placements are advertising, not job matching

8. Prohibited Conduct
