I have always prepared paper returns, and am not familiar with E-Filing; can you use my services ?Certainly! Not all Tax Preparers are familiar with or trained in TaxWise. Many experienced VITA volunteers are very productive and comfortable filling paper returns by hand, and many TaxPayers are not comfortable filing electronically. However, as computers are so pervasive in everyday life, and tax laws become more complex, it is gets harder to prepare any except the very simplest returns on paper.Since information from paper returns are entered into the computer by the IRS, errors could occur in the data entry process. Returns transmitted electronically are checked by the IRS computers for consistency, and any errors can be quickly resolved. Refunds are also received faster for electronic filing. Any errors found on the E-File gets bounced back to the transmitter; the transmitter must then contact the Taxpayer to resolve the issue and re-transmit the corrected E-File, or have the Taxpayer send a corrected paper return. This is an issue that a hand prepared return does not have to deal with. Another duty that you could perform is to review computer prepared returns for accurate data entry. |
