Column Tax offers a free1 and easy option to file taxes (both federal and for all 50 states and DC) for current Varo customers. Find Column Tax in your Varo app by going to Home > Tapping the Tax Filing tile, and select the free option.
Certain information from your Varo account will be automatically pre-filled in Column Tax so you can spend less time completing your tax forms. After completing your filing, you'll have the option to download a copy for your own personal records. If you authorize it, Column Tax will provide an estimate for your state & federal 2025 refund (or balance owed). Review your estimated refund or recently filed returns in your Varo app by going to Home > Tapping on the Tax Filing tile.
When you choose to have your refund deposited directly into your Varo account, you can get it up to 5 days early2.
To get help and support with your Column Tax return in your Varo app, go to Home > Tap the Tax Filing tile. Then tap the circle with a question mark in it (?) at the top the screen to be connected to Column Tax’s support.
