Had our 2011 income taxes done yesterday. There is a group tax help here in our community where everyone can get their taxes done free. It is sponsored by AARP and all the workers are volunteers. The final document is reviewed by onsite AARP certified professionals. Nice service and the thing that kind of got me was how everything has to be done by efile. We ended up owing $714. I thought they would print out the return, we would take it home, write a check and mail it in. They insisted we efile the return and do a debit from our checking account at least by April 15. We agreed to do this and the AARP rep told us that the IRS is really stressing a paperless system. The only way to get your taxes done there was by agreeing to efile.
Was wondering going forward, how a paperless system will work for all the filers out there that still don't use TaxAct or Turbo Tax or some other system. I guess people that aren't computer savy will have to get their taxes done by someone.
