> So long as all the various agencies still demand paper documents, nobody can ever claim to be "turbotax" for immigration. This is slightly faster/cheaper, but is nowhere near the speed to justify that analogy. TurboTax is useful because it provides an easy interface for doing your taxes -- electronic filing is just a bonus. Say IRS only accepted paper forms. It just means that you would have to print your return documents from TurboTax and mail them (an option that is still available in TurboTax). Mailing in IRS forms is not the hard part, it's filling them out. TurboTax was able to replace tax agents for most people because it guides you through the process and does all calculations for you. eFiling is just icing on the cake.
