What is E-File?

Federal/State e-file allows the electronic filing of both Federal and State income tax returns at the same time. The electronic filing tax software places the Federal and State tax return data 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 State, which receives and processes the electronic state  tax return.
