IRS E-Filing Now Open For Most Taxpayers

As of last Friday, the IRS officially opened e-filing for the tax season. All taxpayers that are not affected by the last minute AMT patches are now eligible to e-file their federal tax returns. To find out if these changes will delay when you can file your return, check out “How Will Congress’ Last Minute AMT Fixes Affect My Tax Return” on the RDTC Tax Help Blog.

Last year over 80 million taxpayers e-filed their income tax returns. Almost 57 percent of all returns were filed electronically.

“IRS e-file is the fastest, easiest and most accurate way to file a tax return,” claims IRS Acting Commissioner Linda E. Stiff. "We strongly encourage taxpayers to take advantage of the benefits that electronic filing offers."
