Benefits of e-filing with TaxACT

1. TaxACT offers Federal and State e-file packages to fit any size practice. Smaller practices can pay per return and take advantage of our automatic volume discounts. After the first 100 e-filed returns, the rest are FREE! Larger practices with higher volume can pay a one-time fee of just $350 for unlimited federal e-file and $150 for unlimited state e-filing*.
2. Cumulative federal & state e-filing. Regardless of how many TaxACT Preparer's Editions you use, the number of e-filed returns is cumulative so you receive the maximum volume discounts for federal and state filing each tax year.
3. E-filing is simple. Just click the electronic filing button in your TaxACT Preparer's Edition and the program will guide you through the process.
4. Batch e-filing saves you time. TaxACT can transmit multiple returns at once, reducing processing time.
5. Your clients receive their refunds faster, in as few as 8 days with direct deposit. Plus, e-filing is the only filing method in which the IRS provides you with confirmation that your client's tax return was safely received.
6. Starting in the 2010 tax year, the IRS requires paid preparers to e-file if filing more than 100 federal returns. The Worker, Home ownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 included a federal e-filing mandate. Starting in the 2010 tax year, preparers must e-file if filing more than 100 individual federal returns per calendar year. The threshold will lower to 10 for tax year 2011. In order to e-file, you must have an Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN). You can apply for an EFIN online or mail Form 8633. Learn more about becoming an authorized e-file provider.

NOTE: The IRS accepts e-filed returns for the current tax year January through October 15. Previous year returns must be mailed to the IRS.
