| + | Every year, more taxpayers discover the benefits of filing their tax return electronically. Whether you use a professional tax preparer authorized by the IRS or do it yourself from a home computer, there are many reasons to consider e-filing your tax return this year. |
| + | |
| + | * '''Fast.''' No more last minute trips to the Post Office – with e-file, just hit Send! |
| + | * '''Accurate.''' e-file checks for errors and necessary information, increasing the accuracy of your return and reducing the need for correspondence with the IRS to clarify errors or omissions. |
| + | * '''Easy.''' e-file leads you step-by-step. You can usually file a state tax return at the same time you electronically file your federal return. |
| + | * '''Quicker Refunds.''' Generally, when you use e-file, your refund will be issued in about half the time it would take if you filed a paper return. Those who choose Direct Deposit will get their refund in even less time. |
| + | * '''Peace of mind.''' With e-file, once the return is accepted for processing, the taxpayer is notified electronically, acknowledging the IRS received the return. |
| + | * '''Payment options.''' With e-file, you can file your return early but wait to pay any balance due by the April deadline. You can also pay electronically, using a credit card, electronic funds withdrawal or, in some cases, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. |

| + | The IRS is again offering eligible taxpayers the opportunity to electronically prepare and file their tax returns for free through Free File, a program offered in partnership between the IRS and private-sector software companies. For information on taxpayer eligibility, access the Free File Web page at IRS.gov. |
