Each April, I scramble to send my tax information to my accountant so I can file my taxes before April 15. Since my friends confide that they do the same, there are likely millions of people like us racing to prepare our taxes. What if there was a way to avoid this painful rush—and even the cost of it?

Last week, I compared running a gym to offering software. I spoke about bundling services with things that people like to increase their usage, such as work ...
