Online income tax preparation provides a safe, easy way to file your taxes. According to the IRS.gov official website, electronic filing (e-file) has been an accepted way to file by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since 1986. Some accountants have been using this method to file for their clients for more than two decades. Between the IRS and many innovative tax services, online tax filing has now been streamlined to accommodate the needs of individuals and businesses. Let's take a look at five major benefits of filing your taxes online. 1. Saves Time and Money for Everyone Involved Online income tax preparation saves time and money for you, the online tax service, and the federal and state government.
