How it works

From paperwork to filed, without the scramble.

A clear four-step process keeps your documents protected, your questions answered, and your return moving.

How it works

Simple, secure, and fully remote

You never have to visit an office or hand documents to a stranger. Everything runs through one encrypted, step-by-step process.

  1. Reach out

    Tell us a little about your situation. We'll confirm what you need and send your secure portal invite.

  2. Upload securely

    Add your W-2, 1099, ID, and other documents to your private encrypted portal — never by email or text.

  3. We prepare & review

    Your return is prepared, double-checked for accuracy, and walked through with you before anything is filed.

  4. File & get paid

    We e-file with the IRS and your state, then track your refund through to your account.

Your documents, protected

A tax return contains your most sensitive information — your SSN, your ID, your income. We treat it that way.

Documents are uploaded to a private, encrypted client portal
Your data is protected in transit and at rest
Access is limited and password-protected
We follow IRS and FTC data-safeguard standards for preparers

The details are in writing — read our Privacy Policy.

The safe way to share

Not safe: Emailing your W-2 and SSN
Not safe: Texting a photo of your ID
Not safe: Sending documents over social media
Safe: Uploading through your encrypted portal

For your protection, EF Taxcodes never collects sensitive documents by email, text, or social media. You'll receive a secure portal link to upload everything safely.
