What’s the Difference Between E-Filing and Paper Filing?

Last year, roughly 113 million people e-filed their federal returns during the tax season. By the end of this year’s tax season, that number will be even larger.

Although e-filing is the most popular way to file, some still wish to paper file their returns. Others, don’t have a choice and are required to paper file. Whether you want or need to paper file, you’ll first have to prepare your tax return(s). With RapidTax, you can prepare your return anytime.
