How does it work?

There are numerous home and business accounting software programs that help you prepare your state and federal returns and allow you to submit your returns using your personal computer.

These firms are authorized to submit your returns to the IRS and state like the online services and professional tax preparers. Tax preparation software helps eliminate errors, and sending your information electronically can mean quicker processing of your return.

The electronic filing software transmits your return information to the IRS. The IRS receives and processes the electronic file. You do not send a paper copy of your return to the IRS or the Utah State Tax Commission.
