Tax Back Fees
TaxBack.com charges 10% of your Tax return value, or a minimum value of $75. This covers all the costs, paid to the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and to TaxBack.com. For the ease of use, and compared to the amount you will get back, this is still a great price. We’ve used TaxBack.com in the past, and we were always very please with their service. They also have a new online tracking tool, where you can see the progress of your application, see how much you can expect to get back, and an estimate of when you should get it back.
