*Lacerte Guarantees a Successful E-File Experience
Effective April 23, 2007, Intuit will offer Lacerte customers a guarantee of on-time submission of tax returns and if late, reimburse for paid e-file fees and any assessed late filing penalties.
If any Lacerte customer is unable to submit to Intuit any federal or state tax return before the applicable filing deadline or Intuit fails to file Lacerte customer-submitted returns with the appropriate tax agency before the applicable filing deadline and the lack of submission or filing is due to a failure of Intuit's electronic filing system, Intuit will refund any applicable electronic filing fees, and reimburse the taxpayer for any resulting penalties and interest levied and paid to the tax agency, upon submission of documentation reasonably acceptable to Intuit. Intuit is not responsible for any failure by Lacerte customers to submit, or Intuit's failure to file, any federal or state tax return due to reasons beyond its commercially reasonable control, including but not limited to internet outages or any deficiencies in the actual federal or state returns that prevent filing.
