Is there a free trial on paid tiers?
Yes — every paid tier ships with a 14-day trial. No credit card required to start. We send one reminder email three days before the trial converts. Cancel anytime from Billing & plan.
How does the credit grant work?
Each tier includes a monthly grant of AI credits (used by Bella, receipt OCR, document OCR, and bulk-categorize). Unused monthly credits roll over up to 2× the grant. Past that they evaporate on the next refresh, so you can't stockpile a year of unused credits then use them as a one- month burst. Top-up packs you buy never expire.
Can I buy more credits without upgrading?
Yes. Top-up packs are available on every paid tier and are capped at 3× your monthly grant per billing period — enough for a heavy month, not enough to operate at a higher tier on cheap credits.
What about state taxes?
Federal forecast is included on every paid tier. Multi-state (forecast with real bracket math across multiple state returns) unlocks at Studio and above.
Do you offer non-profit / student discounts?
Yes — 50% off Solo or Studio for verified 501(c)(3) non- profits and full-time students with a valid .edu address. Email
contact@taxottic.com with proof and we'll set you up.
Is Taxottic a substitute for a CPA?
No. Taxottic provides tax forecasting and educational guidance — it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed CPA or tax attorney. When you need one, the “Find a tax preparer” feature connects you to vetted preparers; we never offer legal advice ourselves.
