Please read the information included with the software package carefully before you begin the filing process.

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 use your computer's modem to submit your returns.
These firms are authorized e-file providers and submit your returns to the IRS and state much as do the online services and professional tax preparers. Tax preparation software eliminates errors you may make, and e-file processing of your federal and state return provides faster processing.
The electronic filing software zips your return information in separate packets. These packets are transmitted to the IRS in one taxpayer "envelope." The IRS functions as an electronic post office for the participating states, which receive and process the state electronic "envelopes."
Owe Tax?
If you owe tax, you can still e-file early and pay any balance due postmarked by April 15. Just choose the payment method that works best for you:
- Pay your taxes on the Internet with your credit card or an electronic
check by using PaymentExpress,
our electronic payment portal. There is a convenience fee for using this
service, as follows:
- $1.00 if you choose the electronic check option;
- If you use your credit card, the fee varies depending on the amount paid.
- Mail your payment with a payment coupon, Form TC-547, Individual Income Tax Return Payment Coupon. Complete the payment coupon and write your social security number and the tax year on the check or money order. Mail your payment and coupon to the address below, postmarked by midnight, April 15.
