What do I gain by e-filing my tax return?
Accuracy, security, electronic signatures, proof of acceptance from both IRS and Oregon, fast refunds with direct deposit, electronic payment options and more. No more last minute running to the post office.

Do I really get my refund faster if I e-file?
Generally, you get your refund back in about half the time of paper filing. You can have your refund deposited directly to your bank account.

Do I have a greater chance of getting audited by the IRS if I e-file?
No. The chance of an audit of an e-filed return is no greater than with a paper return.

Where can I get additional information about IRS e-file?
