Paid tax preparers are now required to e-file all returns. Individuals are the only ones allowed to paper file. I bet in a few years they will pull the plug on that as well. Fast forward to 2011….

I wonder if people on direct deposit for S.S. have to recieve a return by direct deposit since they already do for their S.S. money. Makes sense to me, but this is the federal government.

I e-filed with TurboTax, and it cost $14.95, not $10. But I got my refund (direct deposit) 2 weeks later. So, I'm generally happy with my choice. Peace of mind…my sentiments exactly.
