eSmartTax®, a subsidiary of Liberty Tax, helps filers across the U.S. prepare their returns in fast, easy methods. Like many competitors, eSmartTax® uses white-labeled software to help users file their returns.

In 1985, President Reagan promised a “return-free” tax system in which ½ of all Americans would never have fill out a tax return again. Under Reagan’s ideal framework, taxpayers with simple returns would automatically receive a refund or a letter detailing any tax they owed for that year. Making life simpler, right? Taxpayers who owned businesses, had itemized returns or had more complicated returns would use the system in place today. In 2006, President Barack Obama’s chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, suggested instituting the simple return, where American taxpayers would receive already completed tax forms for their review or correction. Goolsbee estimated his system would save taxpayers more than $2B annually in tax preparation fees. Though never implemented, these two proposals over the past 40 years illustrate what we all know: No one enjoys filling out tax forms.
