Filing Your Return

You can file your return using one of two methods:

• File an electronic return
  Electronic filing is the quickest way to receive your refund and the most accurate way to file. You may still have to send in some paper by mail, but the IRS and state will process your return faster.

• File standard tax forms
  If you choose to file this way, all the forms that you need to file with the IRS and state are printed for you. The forms come off the printer in the correct order for submission to the IRS and state. The program also puts the forms together in a report for you with a cover page, the tax forms (which you do submit), and the worksheets (which you do not have to submit).

Note: If you need to return to the beginning of the filing process, choose Filing Options from the File menu. This is useful if you want to change your filing method after making corrections to your tax return.

Refunds and Payments

No matter which method you choose to file your return, you have a few options on how to get your refunds and make your payments.
