E-File (Electronic Filing)

E-file allows you to transmit your return and other tax information directly to the IRS over the Internet.

E-filing is the fastest, safest, and easiest way to submit your return, plus it’s also the fastest way to get your refund. E-filers who request a direct deposit refund typically receive their money in 8 to 15 days. For those filing by mail it can take 6 to 8 weeks.

Last year 100 million people e-filed, and since the service began in 1990, the IRS has processed almost 1 billion e-filed returns.

To e-file all you have to do is self-prepare your return on your computer using an online service like PriorTax.
