[edit]Would it be alright to put up a link to taxengine.com, seeing as how there isn't much information on this site anyway, and they are also an authorized efiling company?Sushilover boy (talk) 19:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think it would be just fine to put up links to any efile service. I also think someone who knows the subject (I don't) should compile a feature and cost comparison for many efile services. The article ought also to discuss the mechanics of using each efile service. I used efile this year for the first time. The program asked me a great many questions, then showed me the filled-in forms before transmitting them to IRS. That may be just fine for some people. But I want a much simpler program, one that will just show me forms on screen, let me fill them in, and then send them to IRS for me. The article ought to help me or anyone else find the service that is best for him. Jm546 (talk) 00:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]I think Electronic tax records would merge well into this article. Blackash have a chat 05:44, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Since Electronic tax records is about documents required by the IRS to be retained, not filed, I don't support merging it here. The subject of Electronic tax records is similar to Records management. Perhaps the scope of Electronic tax records could be expanded to cover business records retention in general, as it relates to IRS policies and audits. Pnm (talk) 03:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think you are right and I'll remove the tag here and put it on Electronic tax records but I leave the discussion here. Blackash have a chat 08:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Direct File
[edit]IRS Direct File is mentioned, but there's no hyperlink, corresponding article or even details. It would be helpful to have information on what the program encompasses, who is eligible, how it works, whether it's limited in scope to certain tax situations, whether it walks you through areas of income and deductions, etc.
A major argument for commercial tax software is that companies have a vested interest in maximizing your deductions, while the IRS does not, so the approach of the IRS offering should be contrasted with that of commercial software in order for people to understand their options.
