Why Electronically File Your Taxes?

The process of preparing and filing your federal and state taxes electronically gets easier every year. According to the IRS the number of people who took advantage of online tax services and efiled their state and federal taxes increased by 11.7% last year alone!

The advantages of electronically preparing and efiling your taxes get better each year. Online tax preparation and efiling services have made filling out a 1040A or 1040EZ tax form relatively painless by breaking the form down into easy to understand sections and including lots of detailed instructions and help buttons. A simple federal tax return can now be prepared and filed in less than 30 minutes and a state tax return can be completed in about 10 minutes. Efiling guarantees that IRS will receive your tax return by the April 15th deadline, saving you from costly failure to file fines and you automatically get receipt proving that the IRS accepted your federal tax return. Efiling your federal and state taxes can also decrease the time it takes for you to receive your tax refund.
