What options do you have to prepare your income tax return? Of course there is the old standard way of filing: paper and mail and/or Telefile (via telephone). With the abundance of online options, though, not only has filing your income tax return never been easier, but it’s also never been faster.

By filing your income tax return online (E-File), the IRS receives your filing almost instantaneously. Errors and corrections can be easily accessed and repaired, updates on where your filing is in the process can be easily obtained, and access to IRS employees for answering of questions has never been easier.

E-filing with the IRS can be done from your home computer or by a professional tax preparer. Online options are endless and the past few years, E-File online tax preparers have literally popped up overnight giving you endless options. As always, when preparing taxes, please consult a tax specialist before choosing an E-File program or an E-File tax preparer.
