About E-filing:
Q. What is an "Authorized IRS e-file Provider"?
A. Tax professionals who are accepted into the electronic filing program are called "Authorized IRSe-file Providers." They are the Electronic Return Originator (ERO) who transmits tax return information to the IRS.
Q. How does IRS e-file work?
A. You or your tax professional, prepare your tax return. In many cases, the tax professional is also the Electronic Return Originator (ERO) who is authorized to file your return electronically to the IRS. Ask your tax professional to file your return through IRS e-file. You sign your electronic tax return by either using a Self-Select PIN for e-file for a completely paperless return, or by signing Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return.

Q. What if I owe money?
A. Your tax professional can file your return electronically any time during the filing season; however, sending the payment for a balance due by April 15 is still your responsibility. You may file electronically as soon as you are ready and will receive a confirmation from the IRS within 48 hours of receipt of your return.
Do you work hard for your money, care about integrity and good value, and expect to pay the taxes you owe but not a dollar more?
