Privacy Policy

Effective August 4, 2025

Thank you for visiting the EasyTaxReturns.com website and reviewing our privacy policy. This privacy policy explains the types of personal information we may collect from and about you, as well as how we may disclose, use and protect that information.

This policy applies to information we collect about visitors to the EasyTaxReturns.com website. This policy applies both to current and former customers of EasyTaxReturns.com and the internet websites owned and operated by its parent company, InterSearch Tax Solutions, Inc., as well as to those visitors to the EasyTaxReturns.com website who do not become customers. This policy does not apply to any of our affiliates, which may be subject to different regulations and/or may have different operating practices. Before doing business with any of our affiliates, you should consult their respective privacy policies.

Information Collection

When you visit EasyTaxReturns.com, we may collect personal information about you from the following categories and sources:

  • Information we receive when you create an account or request services or information from us or our partners, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and payment or billing information.
  • Information you provide to prepare and file tax extensions or returns via our DIY filing service powered by ColumnTax or through TaxPro services powered by TaxFyle.
  • Information provided during technical or customer support interactions.
  • Information otherwise provided by you directly.

We may also collect information using cookies and similar technologies (e.g., clear gifs or web beacons) to enhance your experience, deliver customized content, and monitor site performance. This includes tracking anonymous visitor behavior before they are identified and backfilling behavior once a profile is created. We also use first-party identity graphs to extend cookies indefinitely for more accurate visitor tracking. You may decline cookies, but doing so may limit certain features of our website.

Like most standard websites, we also collect log data including IP address, browser type, ISP, referring pages, exit pages, date/time stamps, and click behavior. Some of this data may become personally identifiable when used in the context of preparing or transmitting tax documents to federal or state agencies.

Advertising networks that serve ads on our website may assign a different cookie to you. These cookies are anonymous and are not linked to your personal information. They may be used to select which ads you see and evaluate ad effectiveness.

Information Use

We do not sell or rent your personal or tax return information to anyone. We may use your information to:

  • Provide services such as tax extension applications, DIY return filing (via ColumnTax), or TaxPro services (via TaxFyle).
  • Process payments for services you purchase.
  • Contact you regarding your account or to deliver transactional or legally required messages, including SMS messages if you have opted in.
  • Send product or service updates and promotional information (you may opt out).
  • Generate internal reports or anonymized aggregate data for operational use.

Your tax return information may be governed by Section 7216 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws. We use and disclose tax return data only as permitted by law. For services involving IRS electronic filing, we are required to submit certain information to the IRS including your e-mail address and IP metadata (IP address, date, time, and time zone).

SMS messages may be used to confirm your transactions, notify you of service events, or deliver critical status updates about your filings. You can opt out of non-essential SMS messages at any time. Transactional messages cannot be opted out of if essential to your service experience.

Attribution and Tracking

  • We exclude bot interactions from Clicked Email and SMS data.
  • We exclude Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) opens from email attribution tracking.
  • We exclude transactional messages from marketing attribution metrics.

Third Parties and Disclosure

We may use service providers to perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers). These vendors are contractually prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.

We may disclose personal information when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or legal process. We may also disclose de-identified, aggregated data (e.g., number of users in a zip code) for reporting or marketing purposes.

If our business is sold or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be given the option to opt out of future promotional communications if ownership changes.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly market to or collect personal data from children under the age of 13.

Links to Third-Party Websites

This site may contain links to third-party websites. These sites may have separate privacy practices and policies, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing those third-party privacy policies before submitting any personal information.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance via this site or email if applicable.
