EasyTracker is currently web-based and there are plans to make an app for it. You log into EasyTracker and immediately get to choose if you want to pay federal or state taxes. Paying federal taxes goes to the entire country and state taxes go to a particular state. Also, if you choose “state” on EasyTracker, you get to choose to pay taxes within a state. You can pay city, county, township taxes, and so on.

Once you select federal or state, EasyTracker gives you choices for where your taxes go. For example, if you select federal, a new screen pops up and gives you all the federal tax choices. The federal departments are all listed: commerce, education, weighs and means committee, and so on. You choose which of those departments you want to send money to. For example, if you want to pay for highways and the military, but not for federal education, you select “transportation” and “defense”. You then tell EasyTracker how much you want to send to each department. You may choose to pay one time or recurring.

For the first time in history, our taxes are TOTALLY transparent! Each taxpayer, whether it’s an individual or a business, knows exactly where their taxes are going and how much each taxable service costs! Once your payment is received by the appropriate department, you will see an entry with your username, amount paid, and date received as well as the current amount still needed for that department. Not only will you see YOUR contributions, you will also see everyone else’s contributions. If you own a business, you may consider creating a username which has your business name in it so you can show everyone what you are paying for! Or, of course, you can create a username which keeps your identity private. In this ‘state’ example, the ledger shows how much has been paid toward Ohio’s transportation, by whom, when, and the current balance. Once the balance is zero, a message will appear over the ledger which says, “Project completed! Please check later to pay for this service or pay now toward a different service.”
