What costs are associated with e-file?
If you decide to use a paid tax preparer, the fee you are charged will vary. Some preparers charge extra for electronically transmitting your return, and others include the transmission fee in with a preparation fee. If you prefer to prepare your own return using either software you purchase at a store or download from an Internet site, you will typically be charged for the state preparation package separately from the federal. Prices for purchasing this software vary from product to product. If you use software residing on the vendor’s Web site, you will be charged a fee for its use. Some individuals are eligible for discounted e-filing of their federal return when using this Internet-based (online) option. NebFile is a program developed by the state, and there are no fees charged for using this option.
