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.

  1. Hi,

    This is a great blog.E-file simply stands for electronic filing of your income taxes. It will submit your tax return via the Internet rather than mailing the return to the IRS. Thanks for all your hard work and the info you give.
