E-filing (electronic filing) is a paperless, secure alternative to mailing in your federal and state tax returns. TurboTax uses industry-standard encryption technology to electronically transmit your returns.
In most cases, e-filed tax returns are processed more quickly than mailed returns; good news if you're expecting a refund.
And speaking of green, e-filing is better for the environment – not only do you save paper, you save having to drive to the post office!
