Can this application actually e-file? From what I see it can help you fill out various tax forms, but you would need to manually file it (print/mail it in) rather than e-file. Is that correct? From the research I did, it seems that being able to e-file requires that you go through a complex process to get approved by the IRS (PDF: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3112.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3112.pdf)
- zakpatterson 5y agoI think there are multiple hurdles to getting e-file to work. The biggest hurdle in my view is that e-file requires an intermediary between the payer and the IRS. One of the benefits of this program is that it runs on the user's computer without a backend. Ideally the IRS would allow people to e-file without an intermediary. There is www.freefilefillableforms.com, made by intuit, and we may be able to interface with that. But for now we just haven't figured this part out yet, and we'd probably need community help to get there.
