april is an IRS-authorized tax filing service that helps you prepare and file your taxes with less stress. Instead of being a separate tax app, april is available through financial platforms you may already use, like payroll providers, fintech apps, or investment platforms.
It’s designed to make taxes simpler by meeting you where you already manage your money.
How april works
april is built into partner platforms, so your tax experience starts with information you already have on file. That means fewer duplicate questions and less manual data entry.
Here’s how it works:
April securely pulls in relevant financial data from your partner platform
You’re guided through a personalized, step-by-step filing experience
You can file on your own or choose professional assistance if you want it
Federal and state filing happen together in one connected flow
The experience adapts to your situation, so you only see questions that apply to you.
Who can use april?
april covers many common tax situations for U.S. residents, including:
Employees claiming standard credits and deductions
Independent contractors, gig workers, and small business owners
Families and households with or without dependents
People with income from multiple sources
If your tax situation is typical — or even a little more complex — april is built to handle it without making things harder.
Is my data secure with april?
Yes. april follows IRS-required security and data protection standards to keep your information safe. Your information is encrypted and handled securely throughout the filing process.
What makes april different?
Most tax tools live in their own world. april doesn’t.
By embedding tax filing directly into financial apps people already use, april reduces friction, cuts down on repetitive questions, and makes the process feel more connected. Combined federal and state filing means fewer handoffs and a smoother experience overall.
The goal is simple: make taxes easier to understand and easier to complete — without needing to be a tax expert.
