How to File Taxes Online

Last year, the IRS reports that almost 100 million people filed their federal income tax electronically. If you're looking to jump onboard the online tax filing movement, you don't have to look much farther than eTax.com. Filing your taxes online is simple, provided you use the right tax preparer and you have a little bit of information at the ready. The following tips will help explain how to file taxes online.

• Choose A Provider

  eTax.com makes online preparing and filing simple. Some online services charge high fees or can have complicated forms to fill out. At eTax.com we offer an easy to understand tax wizard which asks you specific questions to help complete your return. Also, we offer free federal e-filing and a variety of helpful tools and phone support for no extra charge.

• Have Your Information

  Just like you would need if you were filling out the paper forms, you should have your W-2 form ready when you prepare your online tax return. If you haven't received your W-2 from your employer, it's important to contact them right away to have another sent as soon as possible. If you've had multiple employers in the past fiscal year, you may have multiple W-2s. If you are self-employed or an independent contractor, you will need to have any 1099-MISC forms ready as well. These forms have all the information related to your income, and can help calculate your expenses, and deductions.
