When you buy a product, you get a personal license to use it for your own tax business. You may not:

• Resell, share or give away our software access, trainings, templates or files
• Copy or republish our materials as your own

Our software, mentorship and training are educational and business-development resources. We don't guarantee any specific income, number of clients or business results. You are responsible for the tax returns you prepare and for following IRS and state rules. Read our full Disclaimer.

4Limits of liability

BCS Tax Software Company and its team are not liable for any damages, including lost data, lost profit or business interruption, that come from using or not being able to use our site or products.

5Accuracy of materials

Tax rules, software features and bank fees change. We work to keep our materials current, but we don't promise that everything on the site is complete or up to date at all times. We may update our materials at any time without notice.

6Links to other sites

Our site links to other services, such as our online store, booking calendar, software providers and refund banks. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or policies.

7Refund policy

• Refund requests must be made within 7 days of your original purchase date.
• Refunds are not available for digital products, downloadable materials, training programs or system build-outs once access is given or work has started.
• For services that need your information, you must send everything we ask for (documents, account access or business details) within 72 hours of purchase.
• If we don't receive your items within 72 hours, you'll need to book a consultation call to keep your project on track. Missing items or a skipped call can delay your service and does not qualify your order for a refund.
• Once a service has started, been completed or been delivered, the order is fulfilled and can't be refunded.

8Software and per-return fees

Is there a monthly fee for the software? No. Once you buy a software package, you have unlimited access.

What fees apply to each return?

• Transmitter fee: charged by the software on e-filed returns that use a bank product, paid from the taxpayer's refund.
• Service bureau fee: covers training, marketing help and education for the ERO.
• E-file fee: an optional per-return fee the ERO may charge.
• Document preparation fee: a fee the bank lets the ERO charge for handling bank applications, paid to the ERO by the bank.
• Refund bank fee: charged by the bank for paying the preparer from the taxpayer's refund deposit.
• Audit protection: an optional, low-cost add-on the taxpayer can decline.

Fee split for PTIN holders is based on last year's funded returns, and the larger share goes to you:

9Changes to these terms
