The big deadline to file your income taxes with the IRS is Monday, April 18. And if you’re like some of us, you’ve made procrastination an art form. Thankfully, there are a number of apps specifically designed to help you do your taxes the way you want to: on the couch, in your pajamas, with a bowl of ice cream in one hand and your iPad in the other.
Although it’s still more limited than we’d like, the current
tax app selection for iPad is better than any other platform, meaning there are
more choices out there to make your tax filing process as painless, accurate,
and fast as possible. Who isn’t a fan of that? Below are our favorite iPad
apps to help you file your income taxes.
After a few years of splitting apps up in a confusing
format, H&R Block seems to have successfully consolidated its mobile offerings. The iPad
now gets a fully featured tax filing app with H&R Block Tax Preparation. It
allows users to prepare taxes right from the iPad, or switch between tablet and
browser. The app offers a review process to make sure there are no issues with
your filing and promises 100 percent coverage and full audit support should the
numbers come into question. The latest update introduces the super convenient
W-2 photo capture function, which enables you to snap a photo of your W-2 and
let the app do the work of importing all the info. You shouldn’t have anything
to worry about. H&R Block guarantees accuracy and a maximum refund, which
is really all you should ask for from a tax app.
This is a dead simple app. Enter your information in the
form, and it will give you a good estimate of what your tax refund might be
this year. However, as we found out the hard way, this app does not work unless
you’ve already filed your taxes (duh). It just tracks the status of your
return, so if you’re counting the days until your tax return arrives it could
be handy. This app from TurboTax is also available on iPhone and Android.
If there’s any source to trust when it comes to financial
information, it’s Bloomberg. The company has put together a digital tax
reference sheet with its Quick Tax Reference app. The app provides access to
all of the information that you’ll need to have on hand when filing your taxes.
Information like the 2015 tax rates and information on trickier topics
like capital gains and estate taxes will make sure you aren’t giving up too
much of your hard earned cash, while easy access to the corporate and individual
tax schedules will make sure you don’t miss your deadline. This is a universal
app on iOS, so it works with the iPad and iPhone.
