"We're extremely excited," said Ray Shively, Vice President of Online Products at Liberty Tax Services. "Each year, we work to make eSmart Tax the best e-filing tax service on the market. So, it's a great honor to be voted as the best DIY tax software by the readers of About.com."
About.com, ranked as the 66th most popular website in the world and 30th in the United States according to the Web Information Company Alexa, began accepting nominations for award categories in January, 2011 and allowed its readers to vote for one of five finalists in each category throughout February and early March. During that approximately month-long voting period, eSmart Tax earned 58% of the online ballots casted for "Best Do-It-Yourself Tax Software" of 2011. Of the five finalists in its category, eSmart Tax competed against Turbo Tax, H&R Block at Home and TaxACT Online, which each earned 21%, 15% and 4% of the vote respectively.
