Questions people ask
Is AmbooTax the IRS?
No. AmbooTax is a private company and an Authorized IRS e-file Provider. We send your return to the IRS and your state.
Can I file with an ITIN?
Yes, if you, your spouse or your dependents already have an ITIN. We can’t apply for a new one: a first ITIN is requested on paper with Form W-7. Some credits, like the Earned Income Credit, need a Social Security number.
What do I need?
A photo ID; the Social Security number or ITIN and birth date of everyone on the return; your W‑2s and other tax forms; and your bank’s routing and account numbers.
When do I pay?
You see the flat fee before you pay, and you pay before we file. Nothing is ever taken from your refund.
When will my refund come?
The IRS issues more than nine out of ten refunds in less than 21 days. By law, the IRS can’t issue refunds before mid-February for returns that claim the Earned Income Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Track it with Where’s My Refund on IRS.gov.
Can I get help in my language?
Yes. Write to us in Kreyòl, French, Spanish or English: support@amboopay.com.
