Benefits of Authorized IRS eFile Providers.

IRS e-file builds strong client relationships and improves business. Authorized IRS e-file Providers meet the expectations of their clients. They electronically file their clients’ returns including business, individual and information returns. The IRS processes e-file returns faster and with fewer errors. This means quicker refunds and less contact with the IRS. IRS e-file provides proof of receipt within 24 hours of sending returns to the IRS. Individual and business clients can e-file balance due returns and schedule an electronic funds transfer (EFT) from their account for any date. Taxpayers can delay out of pocket expenses by paying their individual income tax with a credit card. IRS e-file provides good return on your investment by saving money on costs of printing, mailing and document storage. It also helps to keep client information more organized, centralized, and readily available when needed.

The IRS also benefits when tax return preparers participate in IRS e-file and comply with the e-file standards. The Service has greater assurance that IRS e-file providers are conscientious and honest, and can rely on their representations in processing the returns they submit. Prescribing IRS e-file Provider rules is relevant to the IRS mission by assuring taxpayers that paid preparers are honest, understand and will abide by the rules.
