Our accountant files for us online. My dad still files paper forms by mail though.

we have a cpa and he files everything online.

We have always used H&R Block, and they file on line. We don' trust ourselves to do taxes.

My dad files electronically through the tax preparer, but we get a complete copy on paper. I no longer have to do taxes so it's not an issue for me.

Filing online makes sure you don't miss anything. I've used a few of the different services and found everything comes up that you might need. It's great!!

Not to mention you won't make any miscalculations. I heard on a news segment there are a lot of simple math errors made on paper filings.

A CPA does our taxes and files on line. We've had an accountant do our federal and state taxes for many, many years. Tax laws change constantly and it gets worse with each passing year.

Shortly after submitting your return, you receive an acceptance email, and then you only have to wait for final processing if you are receiving a refund. The plan is to phase out paper filing altogether, and in my area you rarely find the books and forms anymore, since these can be printed from the website.

Don't tell this to some of the posters on the Wells Fargo bank thread.

ivana, thanks for giving me a chuckle this afternoon, and I really mean that. I'm probably one of the posters you're referring to.. I admit I've been ranting a little (maybe a lot) on that thread, but in reality, I do both my son's taxes and mine online and file electronically, even though I could really do it faster with paper and pen! I've already seen the writing on the wall and I'm keeping up, but I'm not doing it because I like it!

I know folks who get 'return receipt requested' (or whatever it's called) at the post office, when mailing their forms/payments/whatever. That way, they receive confirmation that the gov. received their forms/payments/whatever. Makes sense.

Hey, Hi, KittyMomNC: Just read your post! Funny we should meet here, of all places! (Not intentional, BTW. Just coincidence. Trying to 'get away' to a better place.........lol)
