Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
- If I didn't file a tax return last year, can I still e-file my tax return this year?
Yes. You can still e-file your tax return even if you didn't file a tax return last year. The OLT online tax software, on the Self-Select Pin page, will ask you your Last Year Adjusted Gross Income for the IRS authentication purpose. If you didn't file last year, then enter 0 as your Last Year Adjusted Gross Income.
- If I cannot remember my prior year AGI or PIN, do I have to paperfile?
No, for Filing Season 2010, the Internal Revenue Service has implemented a self-service application, "Electronic Filing PIN" to assist taxpayers who want to file electronically but cannot provide the necessary information from their 2009 tax return. The application will provide the eligible taxpayers with an Electronic Filing PIN (5 digits) for the IRS to authenticate the filers. Follow this link to request your Self-Select PIN .
- Can you send an amended income tax return electronically?
No, an amended income tax return must be filed on paper (to be mailed-in) the the IRS. Online Taxes software will complete the amended tax forms and provide you the instructions for paperfiling your amended tax return.
- Can I e-file my income tax return even though I am filing a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Claim and Allocation?
Yes, you can file electronically.
- What software is approved for IRS online e-file?
The IRS does not endorse or warrant software, but has provided links to electronic filing software web sites at On-line Filing Software Companies. Also, consider IRS online e-file by filing through an Authorized IRS online e-file Provider. To learn more, refer to our Electronic Services information.
- We will be filing a joint tax return. Can we file our return electronically?
Yes. Filing your return electronically is faster, safer, and more accurate than mailing your tax return because it is transmitted over telephone lines directly to an IRS computer.
- How long after I change my name with social security will I be able to file my tax return electronically?
Generally, two weeks after you change your name with the Social Security Administration, the IRS should have the information and you should be able to file electronically. If you do not have two weeks to wait before the due date for filing your return timely, you will need to file a paper return.
- If I file electronically, what do I do with my W-2 forms?
When filing electronically you must provide Form W-2 (PDF) to the authorized IRS e-file provider before the provider sends the electronic return to the IRS. In addition, you should keep them in a safe place with a copy of your tax return.
