Commission, Pay-scale, & Payment Information
Affiliates earn revenue by sending visitors to
the InstaFILE website. For each billed visitor
that completes their tax-return the affiliate
will earn a commission. Their is no limit to the
commissions that an affiliate can earn.
InstaFILE also rewards high-volume affiliates
with a generous sliding pay-scale. The more
returns that are billed the more the affiliate
can earn per return.

How to find out how much you've earned
You can view your real-time affiliate
statistics at any time by visiting the
affiliate statistics page. Three numbers are presented on
this page which will provide you an accurate
view or your earnings to date. Below are the
definitions used on the statistics page.
| Definitions |
| Visitors Sent |
The number of visitors
that have been sent to InstaFILE using your affiliate identifier. |
| Returns Started
|
Represents the number of
tax-returns started by visitors sent to InstaFILE using your affiliate
identifier. Does not reflect the number of tax-returns that have been
billed. |
| Returns Billed |

How payments are issued
Tax season runs roughly from January 15th to
April 30th. From April 1st to April 15th the IRS
estimates that 60%-75% of all tax-returns are
filed. Since the majority of all affiliate
revenue is generated in April, affiliate
payments are issued on May 15th. Exceptions can
be made for affiliates who generate in excess of
$1,000 in their affiliate account prior to March
31st. You can Contact Us
for details on receiving an early payment. It is
important to note however, that most individuals
find their E-File tax provider in February or
March and simply wait to finish their tax-return
in April. Therefore, affiliate marketing done in
the early months of tax-season can help you to
have a very strong April. Payments are issued by
check and mailed May 15th.
Affiliate Information & Foreign Affiliates

information on our signup page when becoming an
affiliate. Your social-security number is used
