Can I upgrade to Expert Assistance after I’ve already started filing?

Yes — in most cases, you can upgrade to Expert Assistance after starting your return.

However, availability may depend on where you are in April’s filing flow. If you don’t see the option to upgrade in the portal, we recommend reaching out directly to the April Tax support team by tapping the “?” icon at the top of the tax portal. They can confirm whether an upgrade is still possible at your current stage and help guide you through the next steps.

If you have any questions about which tier is right for you, April’s support team is always available within the tax portal to help before or during your filing process.
