Last year was the first year ever that more people filed an electronic file than a paper return.

No one at IRS is going to look at each one, whether the return is e-filed or paper-filed.

Just keep a paper copy of what you filed.

You can't get the refund if you don't file a return.

Last year more individual returns were filed electronically than by paper and more refunds were returned through direct deposit than through the mail.

What we see on many of these schemes is that word of mouth kind of helps spread them. People hear, 'Hey, I've got this accountant who saved me a lot of money last year.' They end up making decisions that can ruin them financially. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
