It’s coming up on that time of year again. Maybe you haven’t actually started thinking actively about your taxes, but as soon as you get that W-2, I’ll bet it comes to mind. In the past, filling out your tax return was painful and tedious. All those paper forms, the pencil – since you were worried about errors – and lots of typing on your calculator keypad.

Well, if you haven’t done it already, you should seriously consider e-filing your taxes this year. I’ve been doing it for the past several years, and I love it. There are several advantages to online preparation and e-filing that save you a lot of time.

Advantages of E-Filing:

• Faster refunds by filing electronically
• Quicker than doing it by hand on paper
• Fewer errors
• Saves time
• Easy to use interface with questions to guide you
• Integration with State Tax return (don’t have to do 2 returns separately by hand)

So, give it a shot this year. E-filing is easy to do and getting that refund sooner is a great way to boost your mood in this nasty economy.

Do you e-file currently? Do you like e-filing? Where do you e-file? Are you a TurboTax fan?
