Six Benefits of E-Filing Your Taxes Next Year

>

E-filed returns are becoming more and more popular every year. The number of e-filed returns has risen exponentially over the past few years, with over 99 million people e-filing in 2010. 

   

At Liberty Tax, taxpayers can e-file with the help of their tax preparer. Benefits of e-filing include faster refunds, no paper return, the ability to pay later and quicker confirmation. Liberty Tax customers who e-file can expect to see their return within 8-15 days! With e-filing, your return jumps to the head of the queue.  

   

There are many benefits to filing online, and with Liberty’s e-Smart software, you are backed by the professionals at Liberty Tax when you file.  

Let’s take an in-depth look at some of the additional benefits of filing online:  

1. Much faster refund. The days of waiting for your refund for over six weeks are long gone. E-filers can receive their tax refunds in between nine to fifteen days, or even faster by having your tax refund directly deposited into your bank account. Compare this to mailing in your return – you can expect a refund 15-22 days after the IRS has received and processed your return, which in itself can take several days. 
2. Fewer errors. The IRS reports up to a 20 percent error rate in paper tax returns. . Additionally, if errors are detected, either you or your tax preparer will receive an electronic message indicating the error and you'll be allowed to correct the mistake and resubmit the tax return without penalty.  
3. Peace of mind. Within 48 hours of E-Filing your tax return, the IRS sends you an official acknowledgment of your return. No confirmation is sent after you mail your paper-form tax returns.  
4. Maximize your deduction. The Liberty Tax e-Smart Tax deductions maximizer scours your return to get you the biggest refund possible!
