Referral terms

$50 is paid only for an eligible, staff-approved referral.

  • Staff approval. Every referral is reviewed by Zero Fuss Taxes staff and must be approved before it qualifies. Staff decisions are final.
  • Yearly deadline. Each referral must qualify and be approved by the last day of that year's tax season (the federal filing deadline, usually April 15). Referrals not approved by then do not carry over.
  • Who counts. A new customer at standard pricing who files with Zero Fuss Taxes, pays Zero Fuss Taxes in full, and receives their completed return. Discounted, promotional, or no-charge returns do not count.
  • Who does not count. Your spouse, including anyone on a joint return with you. Yourself or your own business. Current or past Zero Fuss Taxes customers. Zero Fuss Taxes staff and preparers.
  • No pay, no payout. If the referred customer never pays Zero Fuss Taxes, does not qualify, or their payment is refunded or reversed, the referral does not qualify and is not paid out.
  • One referrer per customer. The referred customer must give us your name when they start. If more than one person is named, the first name given counts. One $50 per referred customer.
  • Fair use. You must be 18 or older. Fake, duplicate, or spam referrals are not paid, and we may remove anyone who misuses the program.
  • Taxes. Referral payments may be taxable income to you. If our payments to you in a calendar year reach the IRS reporting threshold ($2,000 for 2026), we will ask for a Form W-9 and may issue a Form 1099.
  • Changes. Zero Fuss Taxes may change or end this program at any time. Changes do not affect referrals already approved.
