You can file your own tax return with tax filing powered by April. This is a tax platform that you access through the Tax center within your Robinhood account.

Tax services are provided by April.

April’s services don’t support all tax situations. April supports US customers who are e-filing:

• 1 federal tax return for standard, common income types, deductions, and credits
• 1 state tax return for any US state (multiple state tax returns are not supported).

Exceptions may apply depending on added tax complexity.

April’s services may be suitable for:

• Income reported on a W-2 and 1099s
• Rental property income in the same state you’re filing in, reported on a K-1
• Certain capital gains and losses

Unsupported tax situations include:

• Section 1256 options and futures contracts
• Certain tax treatments for professional day traders
• Foreign income and addresses

For more details about what tax situations are supported, review April’s Legal and Additional Important Information.

You can access the April tax filing services through the Tax center in the app or on web:

1. Select Account (person icon) → Menu (3 bars) (on the web, skip to the next step)
2. Go to Tax center
3. Navigate to File Your Taxes, and then select Self prepared tax services
4. When prompted, review and confirm if this service is right for you.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to access the April tax filing services.
6. To upload your tax documents for your Robinhood accounts, follow the steps in Import your 1099.

Note that we’ll share personal information with April to pre-fill parts of your tax return like your name, email, birthday, residential address, and Robinhood account information to help get you started.

No problem. April saves your progress while you’re in the process of completing and filing your tax return. When you exit or close the program, you can come back to finish and file it.

April will prompt you to review and sign your return, create a PIN, and then submit it to the IRS. Be sure to save your PIN, so you can reference it when required to confirm any follow-up details for e-filing purposes.

If you already started filing your return with April within the Robinhood app, you can access your April account and return directly on April’s website by using your Robinhood account email address and setting up a password. For details, check out Where can I find my tax documents in April? For further assistance, contact April Taxpayer Support.

While filing your taxes or if your return is rejected:

• For a return status and fixable errors, you’ll likely need to contact April Taxpayer Support.
• For questions about your Robinhood account like your refund being deposited or about paying taxes you owe to the IRS, check out Bank transfers and linking in our Help Center or contact us, if necessary.

When you’re prompted to confirm where you want to receive your refund, you can select to have it:

• Deposited directly into your Robinhood account
• Deposited in a different account
• As a refund check that’s mailed to your address

Note that if you choose to send your tax refund to your Robinhood account, regardless of who you file with, Robinhood may make it available to you up to 4 business days early.* Terms and conditions apply.

Robinhood shares with April the bank information needed to deposit your refund in your Robinhood account. The virtual bank account number for a direct deposit of your tax refund is tied to your brokerage account but is a different account number.

Even though the bank account number is different, it is connected to your Robinhood account that your refund will be deposited into.

If you’d like to confirm this information:

1. Select Account (person icon) → Transfers
2. Select Set up direct deposit
3. Select your individual account to view the bank account number and routing number tied to your brokerage account

If you owe taxes, you can pay them with uninvested cash in your Robinhood account. When submitting your return, you can select to pay with your Robinhood primary individual investing account and the IRS and state tax boards will pull what you owe from that account. Note that we can’t confirm how much uninvested cash you’ll need to pay your taxes through your individual account. So if you don’t have enough cash in your account, you can transfer or deposit money into that account or sell account holdings. Alternatively, you can use the link that April provides you to pay the IRS and/or state directly with a different account like a bank account.
