Four Easy Ways to e-File Your Taxes

From the USA.gov Blog:

Four Easy Ways to e-File Your Taxes:
Last year, nearly 100 million taxpayers e-filed their federal income taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It’s the safest, fastest, and easiest way to submit your tax return.

If you e-file, you can expect to get your refund in half the time. If you owe money, you have more payment options.

There are four ways to e-file your federal income taxes:

  • Free File - if your income was $57,000 or less, you can use Free File for free tax preparation and e-filing.
  • Free File Fillable Forms - regardless of income, you can use online Fillable Forms. Fillable Forms are an electronic version of the IRS paper forms. This is a good option if you are comfortable preparing your own tax return, but want the advantages of fast, secure, and free e-filing.
  • Commercial Tax Software - you can buy your own tax preparation software, prepare your own return, and press send to e-file.
  • Tax Preparer - Find a tax professional you trust to prepare and e-file your return. Nearly all tax preparers use e-file now and many are now required by law to e-file.
Learn more about e-filing your taxes, and how to pick the method best for you.

By Kafka, Franz

Translator Freed, Donna
2003-07 - Barnes & Noble Classics
9781593080297 Check Our Catalog

Virtually unknown during his lifetime, Franz Kafka is now one of the world's most widely read and discussed authors. His nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern man's anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world. This vision is most fully realized in Kafka's masterpiece, ""The Metamorphosis", " a story that is both harrowing and amusing, and a landmark of modern literature.
Bringing together some of Kafka's finest work, this collection demonstrates the richness and variety of the author's artistry. ""The Judgment", " which Kafka considered to be his decisive breakthrough, and ""The Stoker", " which became the first chapter of his novel "Amerika", are here included. These two, along with ""The Metamorphosis", " form a suite of stories Kafka referred to as "The Sons, " and they collectively present a devastating portrait of the modern family.


Also included are ""In the Penal Colony", " a story of a torture machine and its operators and victims, and ""A Hunger Artist", " about the absurdity of an artist trying to communicate with a misunderstanding public. Kafka's lucid, succinct writing chronicles the labyrinthine complexities, the futility-laden horror, and the stifling oppressiveness that permeate his vision of modern life.
