Introducing the Esusu Tax Hub 

This tax season, we’re bringing you a dedicated Tax Hub within the Esusu app for tax filing and estimation, powered by april. Filing will be free for renters in Esusu Communities, helping you avoid hidden fees and upsells that are common across other online tax prep solutions. 

Because many renters enter tax season uncertain about whether they’ll get a refund or owe taxes, we’ve added a new estimator to help predict how big your refund could be. This tax experience is AI-powered, saving you time by reducing the number of questions required, and includes seamless document upload with image recognition.

Why file in the Esusu app?

It’s like having a tax pro in your pocket without the price tag. By filing with us you’ll get:

💵 Max Refund Guarantee1 — every deduction, no credits left behind.

🚫 No hidden fees or upsells — free means free. Really.

📥 Auto-import your info — less typing, more filing.

💬 Unlimited live expert support — real help when you need it.

Whether it’s from investments or digital wallets, we can help you handle common tax situations including:

  • W-2, unemployment, and retirement income
  • Sole proprietor/LLC income 
  • Stock and cryptocurrency sales
  • Itemized deductions
  • Child and dependent care
  • Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Credit (EIC)
  • Homeowner deductions (including real state taxes, home morgage interest) 
  • Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

Contractor? Gig worker? Freelance? 

Mastering the gig economy is no small feat. Every job, task and project is a testament to your hustle. While you’re navigating gig work seamlessly, we know tax season can add another layer of complexity. Fortunately, we can help you maximize your deductions. Whether it’s multiple income sources or gig-related expenses, we can handle the most common scenarios like:

  • Self-employment tax: Report and claim deductions for self-employment tax on your tax return
  • Business expenses: Deduct eligible business expenses, including home office, travel, and advertising, on your tax return to reduce taxable income
  • Multiple businesses: If you have multiple businesses, you can claim deductions separately for each business on your tax return, optimizing your tax situation

Any renter in an Esusu Community has access to free tax filing this year – it’s on the house! 

Let your taxes be our headache, not yours. 

  1. If you find an error in the tax preparation that entitles you to a larger refund (or smaller liability), april will refund any fees you paid to use their service to prepare that return and you may use their service to amend your return at no additional charge. To qualify, the larger refund or smaller tax liability must not be due to differences or inaccuracies in data supplied by you, your choice not to claim a deduction or credit, positions taken on your return that are contrary to law, or changes in federal or state tax laws.
