Here's what most affiliate programs don't offer: passive income. When a client you referred files again next year, you automatically earn 10% of their filing fee – without lifting a finger. A $500 return = $50 passive income, every single year. Refer 20 clients this season, and you could wake up to $1,000+ deposited next year without sending a single message.
That's literally everyone. The question isn't whether you can do this – it's how much you'll earn.
Accountants with overflow, financial advisors, bookkeepers, insurance agents. You already sit across from high-value business clients – now earn 20% on each one you send our way.
Church leaders, barbers, salon owners, HR managers, immigrant community organizers. People already trust you. That trust converts into commissions.
Looking for a new income stream that doesn't require inventory, experience, or startup costs? We give you the scripts, templates, and tools. Just share.
You know 10+ people who file taxes every year. That's $500+ in your pocket just from conversations you're already having. Zero extra effort.
A bookkeeper who refers 10 business clients paying an average of $1,200 each earns $2,400 in base commissions + $250 milestone bonus = $2,650. Compare that to 10 personal returns at $250 each = $500. Same number of referrals, 5x the payout. Most flat-fee programs pay $25–$50 per referral regardless – meaning you'd earn $250–$500 for those same 10 business clients. With us? $2,650.
Think about the last 3 people who asked you for a tax preparer recommendation. If you'd been an affiliate, those referrals could have earned you $150–$900 – money that went to nobody. Tax season doesn't wait. Every day you delay is real money that someone else earns instead of you.
No tax experience. No special skills. Just people who decided to stop leaving money on the table.
I referred 8 business clients from my bookkeeping practice. At 20% commission on an average $1,100 filing fee, I made $1,760 – plus the $250 milestone bonus. Easiest $2,010 I've ever made. And with the 10% recurring, those same clients will pay me again next year.
I shared my link in 3 Facebook groups and with my insurance clients. The 20% model motivated me to target small business owners specifically – one referral paid me $340. I made $2,800 my first season while other programs would've paid me maybe $400 total.
As a barber, I talk to everyone. Some of my clients own businesses – those referrals earn me $200–$300 each. I made $1,400 last month from conversations I was already having. I literally just hand them my QR code while they're in the chair.
You earn 20% of whatever the client pays for their tax filing. If they pay $250 for a personal return, you get $50. If they pay $1,500 for a business return, you get $300. There's no cap – the bigger the client, the bigger your check. You can see real-time earnings in your affiliate dashboard.
You get paid within 7 days of your referral's completed, paid tax filing. Payments are sent via direct deposit or PayPal – your choice. You can track all pending and completed payments in your affiliate dashboard. No waiting 30–60 days like other programs.
Absolutely not. Our licensed CPAs handle everything – filing, support, accuracy guarantee. You're a referrer, not a tax preparer. We give you scripts, templates, and talking points so you never have to answer a tax question. If someone asks you a tax question, just send them to us.
No cap whatsoever. Refer 5 people or 500 – there's no limit on referrals or earnings. Our top affiliates refer 50+ clients per season and earn custom commission rates with a dedicated account manager.
When someone you referred files their taxes again the following year, you automatically earn 10% of their filing fee – without doing anything. A $500 return = $50 passive income every year. The more referrals you build up, the more passive income you earn every tax season. Think of it as building an annuity.
You'll get a real-time affiliate dashboard, unique referral link, QR code for in-person referrals, pre-made social media graphics, copy-paste text and email templates, a printable flyer, and weekly performance reports. Everything you need – we've already built it for you.
Business returns cost more – typically $800–$2,000+ depending on complexity. At 20%, that means $160–$400+ per referral vs. $50 for a basic personal return. One business referral can be worth 3–6 personal referrals. Smart affiliates build relationships with business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
No worries – you only earn commissions on completed, paid filings. But our conversion rate is strong because we offer competitive pricing, excellent CPA support, and a smooth experience. Once someone talks to our team, they usually file with us.
Take the 60-second quiz to see your personalized earnings estimate. One business client could pay for your car payment. Ten could fund a vacation. And next year? They'll refile – and you'll get paid again.
