MDCS in Action: Intuit TurboTax SnapTax for iPhone and Android

TurboTax SnapTax helps customers e-file tax returns and get their refunds faster. Here’s how SnapTax makes filing as easy as 1-2-3:

1. First, filers snap a photo of their W-2 (income and paid taxes) forms with their iPhone or Android.
2. SnapTax automatically populates their tax form.
3. Users then prepare and e-file federal and state returns with a few more clicks – entirely from their phone.

That’s it! The app’s ease of use is inherent in its appeal to users, who love being able to do their taxes on the phone.
