Individual Income Tax

Tiako Tax is required to file all returns electronically unless the return itself is not accepted by the IRS due to extenuating circumstances.

Using a professional tax software substantially reduces errors. According to the IRS, 20 percent of income tax returns prepared on paper have mistakes, such as missing information or taxes calculated using the wrong tax tables; half of those errors cause folks to overpay their taxes. But only about 1 percent of returns prepared electronically contain errors. If there is a mistake on your return, the IRS can detect it and send back an error report in as few as 48 hours so that you can quickly fix the problem.

If you send in your return by mail, you can expect to wait up to six weeks for your refund. Electroninc filing your return and electing to have your refund deposited directly into your bank account is the fastest way to get your tax refund. If, however, you still prefer to send the IRS a paper return, Tiako Tax gives you that option.
