Online Tax Preparation



April 15th just got a little less taxing. With the I.U.P.A. Plus Online Tax Preparation Service, union members and their families can use an online tax tool to prepare and file their taxes - at half the cost of similar services from H&R Block® and Quicken®.

Ready to get your tax refund? Using this service along with the built-in e-filing means you could get your refund within a couple weeks - and unlike many other tax preparers, there are no high-cost "rapid refund" service fees.

With this simple and easy-to-use service, the online tax preparation tool automatically calculates your taxes and helps minimize errors. You can save information and start again later, so you don't have to complete your tax returns all at one time. Year-to-year information is also saved so you can import information from a prior year's return.

  • For only $21.95, you can file both your federal and state tax returns.
  • You are not charged until you either file or print your return.
  • If your adjusted gross income is less than $28,500, you can use the Union Plus Tax Service at no cost - the service and e-filing is absolutely free for you.

Reliable provider: The Union Plus Online Tax Service is provided through CCH Incorporated, the leading provider of tax and business law information and software for tax preparation professionals. The company was founded in 1913 and has been providing Web-based tax services directly to consumers for 5 years. Many tax preparation professionals use CCH software to file taxes for their clients.

Built-in customer service: For each step within the tax return, the online service offers an extensive online help system. If you have a question not covered by the online help, you can either e-mail CCH and receive a response within 24 hours or chat directly online with a CCH customer service representative for $4.95 per session.

Rapid refunds: Once ready to file, you can print the return and mail it directly to the IRS and your state authority or file the return electronically. Refunds can be direct deposited to a checking or savings account or sent via a check.
