How does it work?

Business and corporate customers visit their financial institution's web site or a specific white labelled web site to register for the service. Once registered, when users access the service their tax profile is retrieved and selected tax forms are displayed. Users enter the required information, the content is validated and the user is then provided a confirmation number. The payment transaction is warehoused until the effective payment date, at which time payment instructions are transmitted to the financial institution and the transaction is completed. Detailed filing and payment information is sent to the appropriate government agency.
