Estimator

What could a reward be worth?

The reward is 4% of the federal refund shown on a validated 2025 Form 1040. Type a refund amount to see the arithmetic. It is an estimate, not an offer — nothing is submitted and nothing is saved.

The refund figure shown on your filed 2025 Form 1040. Nothing you type here is sent to us or saved.

Possible reward at 4% $0.00

This is an estimate, not an offer. It is arithmetic on a figure you typed — 4% of it. It is not an application, not an approval, and not a promise of payment. No reward is payable unless your Form 1040 is validated and we confirm a determination to you in writing.

Rewards are paid by Mari's Taxes LLC from its own funds. A reward is not a tax refund and is not paid by the IRS or any government agency. This reward program is operated by a private company and is not affiliated with the IRS or U.S. government.

There is no fee to apply and no obligation of any kind. A reward may be taxable income to you; how you report it is your responsibility.

Process

How it works

Four steps. Note where payment details appear — at the end, after a decision, never before it.

  1. 01

    Submit your document

    Your email address and your filed 2025 Form 1040 as a PDF. You may black out your Social Security number first. The file is encrypted the moment it reaches our server.

  2. 02

    We validate the return

    A reviewer at Mari's Taxes LLC checks one thing: whether the document is a genuine, unaltered Form 1040 filed for tax year 2025.

  3. 03

    Written determination

    Approved or declined, sent to the email address you gave us, normally within 5–10 business days. Every application that passes validation is approved.

  4. 04

    Payment details, then payment

    If approved, that email carries a private, time-limited link where you tell us where to send 4% of the refund verified on your return. This is the only stage at which we ask for bank information.

Check Eligibility

Takes about two minutes. You will need your filed 2025 Form 1040 as a PDF.

Requirements

Eligibility requirements

Eligibility is decided by validating the document — nothing else. We do not look at your income, your filing status, your dependants or your credit.

Approved

The uploaded file is a genuine, unaltered Form 1040 that was filed for tax year 2025.

  • The return is real and was actually filed.
  • It is for tax year 2025.
  • It has not been edited or fabricated.
  • It is legible — your SSN may be blacked out.
  • You are the taxpayer named on it, or the spouse on a joint return.

Every application that passes validation is approved. There is no quota and no scoring.

Declined

The document does not validate.

  • The return is fabricated or has been altered.
  • It is for a tax year other than 2025.
  • It is a draft, worksheet, estimate or screenshot rather than a filed return.
  • It is unreadable or incomplete.
  • The same return has already been submitted under another application.

Submitting a fabricated tax document is fraud. Those applications are declined and recorded in our audit log.

You may redact your Social Security number

We validate the return, not your SSN, so black it out before uploading if you prefer — it will not affect or delay your application. Please leave the tax year, your name, the form type and the refund amount readable, because those are what we check.

Trust

Privacy and security

A Form 1040 is one of the most sensitive documents you own. We handle it accordingly.

No bank details up front

We ask for payment information only after your application has been approved, through a private link that expires. If a site asks for your account number before telling you whether you qualify, treat it as a warning sign.

Encrypted at rest

Documents are encrypted with AES‑256‑GCM before they touch disk. Encryption keys live outside the website directory and are readable only by the application service account.

Never publicly reachable

Uploads are written to private storage outside the public web root. There is no URL — guessable or otherwise — that serves an uploaded document to the internet.

No plaintext banking data

When you do supply an account holder name, account number or routing number, each value is encrypted individually. They are never written to the database in readable form.

Filenames discarded

Your original filename is not stored. Each document is saved under a random identifier that carries no information about you.

Access is logged

Every staff action — opening an application, downloading a document, recording a decision — is written to an audit trail with the reviewer, the time and the IP address.

How to spot an impostor

Mari's Taxes LLC will never call, text or email you to ask for your Social Security number, your online banking password, a one-time code, a gift card, or a fee to release a reward. Everything we need is collected on this website, over HTTPS, at rewards.irs-sol.com. If someone contacts you claiming otherwise, stop and write to info@irs-sol.com.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this program run by the IRS or any government agency?

No. This reward program is operated by a private company and is not affiliated with the IRS or U.S. government. It is a private program operated by Mari's Taxes LLC, a California limited liability company, and rewards are paid from the company's own funds. Nothing on this site is an IRS communication, and no submission here changes your tax return, your refund or your standing with any tax authority.

How much is the reward?

4% of the federal refund shown on your validated 2025 Form 1040. The figure that counts is the one on the return, read by the reviewer — not a number typed into the calculator. If your return shows no federal refund, 4% of zero is zero. Estimate it here.

What decides whether I am approved?

One thing: whether the document you upload is a genuine, unaltered Form 1040 filed for 2025. If it validates, your application is approved. If it is fabricated, altered, for another year, or not a filed return, it is declined. We do not assess your income, your credit or anything about you personally.

Can I black out my Social Security number?

Yes. We validate the return, not your SSN. Redact it, and your dependants' numbers, if you prefer — it will not affect or delay your application. Leave the tax year, your name, the form type and the refund amount readable.

When do you ask for my bank details?

Only after you have been approved. Your determination email carries a private, time-limited link to a page where you either tell us to use the direct deposit account already on your return, or enter a different account. We never ask for an online banking login, a PIN or a one-time code.

Does submitting an application cost anything?

No. There is no application fee, no processing fee and no fee of any kind to receive a determination or a reward. Anyone asking you to pay to claim a reward is not acting for us.

Am I guaranteed a reward if I apply?

No. Submitting a document starts a validation review; it does not create an entitlement, and no determination is final until we issue it to you in writing. What we can tell you is the test: applications whose documents validate are approved. We may also change or end the program, as the Terms of Service explain.

How long does it take?

Most determinations are issued within 5–10 business days of a complete submission. Unreadable or incomplete documents take longer because we have to come back to you.

What happens to my document afterwards?

It stays encrypted in private storage for as long as we are required to retain it, and is then destroyed. It is never sold, never shared for marketing, and disclosed only where the law requires it. The Privacy Policy has the full retention schedule.

Is a reward taxable?

It may be taxable income to you. How you report it is your responsibility, and nothing on this site is tax advice about your own circumstances.

Can I withdraw my application and have my data deleted?

Yes. Email info@irs-sol.com from the address you applied with, quote your application reference, and we will close the application and delete the stored document subject to our legal retention obligations.
