What is e-filing?
E-filing (electronic filing) is the process of electronically transmitting tax return information to the IRS, instead of sending in a paper tax return. The IRS encourages e-filing because it is more accurate than mailing a paper return. Taxpayers also receive the benefit of a faster refund by e-filing.
Electronic Filing (e-filing) is a method of transmitting tax return information directly to the IRS which is much faster, more secure and accurate and helps get your refund quicker. Most refunds for an e-filed federal return are received within 10 days versus six to eight weeks for a traditional mailed return.
E-Filing or electronic filing is a convenient and quick way of sending your tax returns to the I.R.S. by using an on-line tax preparation site like 1040Now or other service providers. Your return is securely transmitted by 1040Now directly to I.R.S. computers for processing. You do not need to mail anything to the I.R.S. The I.R.S. will notify 1040Now whether your tax return(s) has been accepted and, in turn, you can access to the e-filing page for the status of your tax return(s).
