How does all of this work?
We prepare your tax return. You sign your electronic tax return by either using a Self-Select PIN for e-file for a paperless return, or by signing Form 8453, an Income Tax Declaration and Signature for Electronic Filing. After you sign the return using a Self-Select PIN or Form 8453, we transmit the return to the IRS. Once received at the IRS, the return is automatically checked by computers for errors and missing information.
If it cannot be processed, it is sent back to us to clarify any necessary information. Within 48 hours of electronically sending your return to IRS, it sends an acknowledgment to Tax Pros of Madison stating the return is accepted for processing. This is your proof of filing and assurance that the IRS has your return information.
If due a refund, you can expect to receive it approximately three weeks after the acknowledgment date. With direct deposit, you can receive your refund more quickly. If you owe tax, we have options to assist you as well. As the client, you must pay the preparation fees up front, before the return can be e-filed.
IRS e-file returns are virtually error-proof with an error rate of less than one percent. IRS e-file greatly reduces the chance that you will get an error letter from the IRS. And, e-file returns typically take about half as long as paper-files returns for you to receive your refund.
