The value proposition is extremely compelling (especially for someone like me who is still procrastinating filing...). Take a picture and have a professional do the work?! Yes, please.

That being said, I need to know more before committing. Who are these professionals? How much will it cost me? Am I guaranteed the max allowable refund? I applaud you for bringing simplicity to a field as complicated as taxes, but the devil is still in the details.

Overall looks great though! Let me know if I can help test at all, emails in my profile.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes most of the last few months I have spent on is getting tax agents to sign up.

. Tax Agents currently using the Sanetax are independent tax professionals and EAs(Enrolled agents). Some have 14yrs of experience in the industry.

. Depending on how complicated your tax filing tax agents tend to charge anywhere from $40 to $200. Again, this is between tax agent and customer to agree upfront.

. As a customer you can talk to them and feel comfortable before agreeing to go forward - just like what you would do for any purchase. At any stage, customer can back off from the agent if he/she is not satisfied. We can assign a new agent.

You might want to pitch some distilled form of this summary on your page.

It's also the first question that popped into my head when I looked at your site (which otherwise, is pretty good).

Thanks. I will have that included on the site.
