What is e-filing? - E-filing refers to the electronic filing of tax returns, forms and other legal documents. It typically involves transmitting the filing directly to the appropriate court, government or other authority (in the case of taxes, to the IRS). Filing electronically helps to save time, reduce errors, provides a more secure method all while helping to reduce paper usage and the associated carbon footprint.

 

The history of IRS e-file - In the early 1990s the Internal Revenue Service launched both it's e-file system and it's telefile (by phone) system to begin accepting the electronic transmissions of tax returns. Both of these systems allowed taxpayers to file their federal income tax returns electronically in place of the traditional paper-based filing process. By the 2000s one of these systems (IRS e-file) had proven to be the preferred transmission method while the other would be closed permanently. In 2012 the percentage of e-filed personal returns had grown to over 80%. Today, it is the most preferred method for filing both personal and business tax returns and E-file.com is one of the leading platforms helping US taxpayers electronically file thier returns.
