our pricing

Pay less. Earn more.

Tax industry pricing doesn't have to be as complicated as it is today. CIT is changing that. You shouldn't have to buy tax software and then charge your clients a bunch of junk fees for a bank product.  The software should be free and you should keep the fees you charge which would provide you with the flexibility to give your clients a great deal. Thats why, we created our revolutionary pricing model.

With cost-effective tax software and banking products, the savings add up—and put you in control over your pricing, not your service bureau.

CLIENT QUERIES

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do tax pros use CIT?
With other tax vendors, you are forced to charge your clients additional junk fees (technology fees, transmission fees, bank fees, service bureau fees, etc.) that can average $75-$150+ per return! Community Income Tax helps you be competitive against “free” software and large tax firms by offering a flat $20/return pricing; including bank products! You can choose to pass on the savings to your customers, boosting customer satisfaction and referrals, or increase your profits. You’re in control of your costs, not a bank or software company!
Is Community Income Tax too good to be true?
Of course not! Over the past 8 tax seasons, CIT has served thousands of tax advisors, helping them earn more while charging their customers less—and growing their businesses. Best of all, we’ve stayed committed to customer service and support without raising our fees once!
How much do I pay for CIT, and when?
After joining CIT, you don’t pay a dime until you start submitting returns, and, from there, it’s always (and only!) $20 per accepted return, all tax season long. There are never upfront or out-of-pocket costs!
How much do I pay for CIT software each year?
Nada, zip, zilch! Your TaxWise software is absolutely free—and that’s for desktop or mobile, with unlimited users. Plus, you’ll get unlimited, year-round access to TaxWise’s premium support.
How much do I pay for Republic Bank banking products?
Just like the TaxWise software, you get unlimited access to Republic Bank banking products for no additional cost, including their awesome customer support. It’s all covered by CIT’s $20/return pricing!
I'm not exactly tech-savvy. Is CIT's tax software difficult to use?
Not only is the software intuitive and easy to use, we’ll get you trained with our team of onboarding experts who are ready to help you get set up. Best of all, you’ll have year-round, unlimited customer support if a question does come along.
Does CIT offer training or support?
Absolutely! While Community Income Tax software and banking products are easy to use, our friendly support and onboarding team will get you trained and keep you supported year-round with quick, helpful communication.
I'm ready to go. How soon can I start using CIT?
By working one-on-one with our onboarding experts who help you upload data, switch from your previous software and connect other tools you use, you can be up and running in as little as 24 hours. It’s that simple!
Is there a minimum return requirement to join CIT?
Yes, you must file a minimum of 75 accepted returns to qualify for our program.
Do I need to have an EFIN to join CIT?
Yes, an EFIN is required to join CIT as it is an IRS regulation.
I have a few more questions. How can I get in touch?
We’d love to help! Drop an email to enroll@joincit.com or call 904.900.3099. Or, if a demo of CIT software and banking products would be helpful, you can schedule a demo here.
