FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 31, 2003
DALLAS - BankDirect today announced it has expanded its online service offerings
to include the TurboTax® for the WebSM service through a marketing
alliance with Intuit, Inc. TurboTax for the Web enables taxpayers to prepare
and file federal and state income tax returns online using the same core
features and benefits as the No.1-selling TurboTax desktop software programs.
And since no downloading of software is required, preparing and filing taxes is
faster, easier and more convenient.
The agreement expands BankDirect's suite of financial services, giving clients a
fast, easy, and low-cost way to automate tax return preparation. TurboTax for
the Web supports more than 100 IRS tax forms, schedules and worksheets,
including 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ forms. Electronic filing services are
included in the cost of tax preparation. TurboTax for the Web gives BankDirect
customers new options this year, including the TurboTax Premier for the Web
service that features a tax law advisor; extended EasyStep™ interview, review
for Schedules C, D and E; and additional planning tools.
TurboTax for the Web will be available to BankDirect customers at
www.bankdirect.com to use from mid-January, 2003 until October 15, 2003, the
last filing date for tax year 2002.
