      Filing Taxes Through Easy Expense

      When filing your taxes through the Easy Expense app, you will be redirected to Column Tax, a secure, IRS-approved embedded tax filing service. We automatically import your tax-deductible expenses into Column Tax for your tax return.

      Column tax may need certain information to file your tax return. If possible, have the following documents ready:

      • Social Insurance Number

      • Driver's License

      • Form W-2 from all employers

      • Form 1099 from all clients, income, and benefits received

      • Form 1095-A for health care coverage

      • Adjusted gross income (AGI) from last year's return

      • A copy of last year's return

      • Direct deposit information for your tax refund
