Since 1971, Nolo's goal has been simple: Make America's legal system accessible to everyone. Our website, books, software, online legal forms and lawyer directory help millions of individuals, businesses and nonprofits solve their legal problems each year.
I keep hearing a rumor that people who file their taxes electronically -- that is, by computer -- are more likely to get audited than those who do paper returns. Do you know if there's any truth to this?
Electronic filing won't increase your chances of being audited. However, it will get you into the batch of returns scanned for audit potential more quickly than those who go the paper route. The only advantage to electronic filing from a taxpayer's standpoint is that you will get any tax refund you are owed sooner.
Nolo posts updates to the latest versions of books and software when major legal or practical changes occur. To see if your product has had a recent update, search for that book or software and visit its product page.
