Happy partner since 2012

I have been using Federal Direct for my practice since 2012 for tax year 2011. I intend to continue with them for many years to come. The employees at FD are knowledgeable and professional. They always help my office with any difficult tax returns we might have. I highly recommend FD to any new partners that might consider entering into the Tax Preparation business.

I am so happy to have partnered with Federal Direct. I love that when I call I talk with a human. I appreciate that I have an experienced team to call on when I am personally unable to handle something.

Federal Direct has a great team from the CEO to customer service representatives, everyone I have encountered has been very helpful, courteous and just easy to work with. They work with you and your situation all across the board.
My personal situation I was frustrated/a tad mad regarding a 1040X situation, after communicating with Joe, he explained why I was having the issue and provided the solution. Software upgrade was needed.
They are an awesome team of tax professionals. I would recommend Federal Direct to other tax professionals looking to start their own tax business.

When we started the best thing we liked was your support.
Last couple years since people started working from home. Some of your employees hesitate to jump over the computer to help.
We need to get better.
