Increased efficiency in processing. Prior to transmission, your return is subjected to stringent error checks. Once transmitted, the Service Center performs a more extensive error check, resulting in returns with significantly less error rates.
Speed. As a result of this efficiency, coupled with the new IRS customer account infrastructure (CADE 2), the time it takes to issue your refund is reduced. If you are able to receive your refund electronically, you may receive your refund sooner than you thought.
Ease of Tax Payments. If you owe taxes, you will be pleased with the convenience of our I-PAYbyCreditCard payment option to pay off the Balance Due amount. Payment via paper voucher will also be available to print and mail. Tax payments need to be made on or before the due date of the return, normally April 15th, even when you eFile. Electronic Funds Withdrawal or ACH Debit is another payment option available through our system.
Quick IRS acknowledgement. As opposed to waiting for snail mail, electronically filed returns are acknowledged by the IRS and if accepted, the returns will be identifiable with a Submission ID. Additionally, FileTaxes.Online provides an electronic postmark (ePostmark) for all the returns filed. This postmark will have the same effect and validity to the IRS as the postmark affixed at the post office, and as an added advantage, will be correlated with the eFiled return. This level of certainly simply does not exist when you file your tax return via snail mail.
