Why Should I File Electronically?
Taxpayers who file electronically get their refunds the fastest. Most refunds are issued within 2-3 weeks of the return being received. However, the process may take up to 12 weeks. Handwritten returns take the longest to process.
Some of the benefits of electronic filing are:
- Faster and more accurate processing
- Eliminate the need to mail paper returns
- Electronic payment options are a convenient, safe, and secure option for paying your taxes
- Choosing direct deposit speeds up the process even more!
