Frequently asked questions
Answers on pricing, the process, and how we protect your privacy.
- When do I pay?
- Once we check your documents and details, we tell you the final price. After you pay, a registered tax agent prepares your return. You then approve the finished return yourself before it's lodged.
- Where are AI and automation used?
- Our automation reads and organises the information in your documents. It also flags income or deduction items that need a closer look. A registered tax agent handles all the tax judgement and the final review.
- How are my information and documents protected?
- Your documents are stored in a secure cloud environment in Australia. Only staff and approved providers who need it for the service can access them. We follow standard privacy and confidentiality procedures.
- What documents should I prepare?
- This depends on your income and deductions. After you start, a few quick questions guide you through what to prepare. Think PAYG income statements, receipts, bank statements and investment reports.
- How long does it take to prepare my return?
- Once your documents, any follow-up questions and payment are all done, your return is usually ready within 3–5 business days. You then give it a final check and approve it for lodgement.
- I have crypto transactions — can I still use this?
- Yes. Crypto returns can need a separate specialist review, depending on your transaction history. Choose “Request a crypto tax quote” and a registered tax agent will walk you through it. We'll let you know what records you need after that call.
- Can Australian citizens or permanent residents use this?
- Yes — citizens, permanent residents and visa holders can all use this. When you start, choosing “Citizen / Permanent Resident” tells us your immigration status. We ask about tax residency separately because the two are not the same thing. Your answers set your quote. Before lodgement, a registered tax agent confirms whether the tax-free threshold and resident rates actually apply.
