Earn $20 for every friend who files with us
Anyone can join — you don't need to be a client. Share your link, and get paid when your friend files their first return with File US Taxes.
Earn $20 for every friend who files with us for the first time. Paid by PayPal; PayPal's 2% transfer fee (about 40¢) is deducted.
Simple, year-round, no cap
1. Join
All you need is a valid email address and a PayPal account (or a Venmo account that can receive PayPal Payouts). You'll get a unique referral link.
2. Share
Send your link to friends and family any time of year. There's no enrollment window and no limit on how many people you can refer.
3. Get paid
When a friend you referred files and pays for their first return with us, you earn $20. Rewards are paid out monthly by PayPal Payouts, with PayPal's transfer fee deducted.
What you should know
When a reward is earned
Your friend must be a genuinely new client who has never filed with us before, and their first return must be fully prepared, filed, and paid for — not just booked or invoiced. The referral must be properly attributed to your link or code. Rewards are paid once per new client.
No self-referrals
You can't refer yourself or any account you control. Rewards are paid only when the referrer and the referred client are different people. We use automated and manual checks to detect self-referrals and other misuse.
Getting paid
Rewards are paid by PayPal Payouts, batched monthly, to the PayPal or Venmo account you provided. PayPal's transfer fee (about 2%, roughly 40 cents on a $20 reward) is deducted from your payment — we don't reimburse this fee.
Taxes on your reward
We don't issue tax forms for referral rewards. Referral income may still be taxable to you, and you're responsible for determining and meeting any tax obligations that apply. This isn't tax advice — ask your own tax advisor if you have questions.
Please keep it genuine
Don't misrepresent our prices or services when sharing your link, and don't spam or send unsolicited bulk messages. If you're promoting your link publicly in exchange for any payment or bonus beyond the standard $20-per-referral reward, additional disclosure rules may apply — see our Terms of Service.
