Life is getting easier and easier- you have a choice on how to “send” your tax return- on paper via the US Post Office or do it electronically. Filing on line is secure and simple but consider these points when you make your choice.
Using a tax preparation web site saves time since you don’t have to don’t have to go to the store and buy software.
It is pretty good at checking the math for you and can find some errors.
Paper returns can and have been lost in the mail. And if you are filing your return at the 11th hour and in your PJ’s or your week end wardrobe, then running into the post office to send it certified may not be a good option- Consider your time, additional post cost, gas, the late night trip thru the drive in and the chance the fashion police will fine you!
If you have a return- that I know you are planning to save, that refund should arrive faster. You can watch your checking account for that refund in 3 weeks rather than the checking of the mail box for a per check in 8 weeks.
Happy 2006 tax year- Now resolve to do better for your 2007 return. Yes taxes are a part of your life, they won’t be going away for a very long time so plan now on how to keep organized and file on time next April.
