IRS e-file is fast, accurate and safe. Simply put, there is no better way to file your client’s income tax returns. In
Filing Season 2001, 29 million taxpayers chose a tax practitioner to e-file their returns – an increase of 15% from the
previous year. Many barriers have been eliminated since you last considered e-file. For example, thirty-one additional
forms will be accepted for e-filing beginning 2002, enabling you to e-file 99.1% of your clients' tax returns. Why not
offer the service that taxpayers are clearly looking for – IRS e-file. Tap Into a Growing Market and become an
Authorized IRS e-file Provider.
Improved Accuracy – IRS e-file software alerts you to errors and allows you to correct them before the
return is filed. Filing an accurate return decreases the chances of your clients receiving error notices.
Expanded Electronic Payment Options – Your clients can e-file and e-pay in a single step, reducing the
chances of errors and assuring them of on-time receipt of the paid return. Electronic funds withdrawal
payments from a checking or savings account are free and can be scheduled for a future date, up to and
including April 15, 2002. If they prefer, your clients also have an option to pay their income tax by major
credit card.
One-Stop Filing – Federal/State e-file offers the convenience and economy of filing both returns together.
Reduced Handling Costs – IRS e-file reduces costs and requires less paper handling by you and your staff.
In addition, paper signature forms are a thing of the past. Clients can electronically sign their e-filed returns
using a Self-Select Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is a five-digit number taxpayers create to
sign their tax returns. No more envelopes to address, certified mail expense or last minute trips to the post
office. It’s totally paperless!
Improved Marketing Campaign - IRS has a national marketing campaign supporting IRS e-file and
provides you with a free Marketing Tool Kit. These tools are intended to help promote your e-file business.
Take it Easier! – Millions of you already prepare tax returns using computer software. It is just a matter of
pressing the “Send” button instead of the “Print” button to file electronically.
