IRS reminds e-filers to ‘send’

Monday, Jan. 24, 2005 | 8:19 a.m.

The Internal Revenue Service marked the opening of the IRS e-file season with an appeal to taxpayers and tax professionals alike: Hit the 'send' button.

Also, Free File, the free tax-service partnership and an important component of IRS e-file, opens its third year with free service offerings to taxpayers who have access to a computer and the Internet.

Taxpayers can file their returns electronically either by using an e-file-approved tax professional, purchasing over-the-counter computer software or downloading Internet-based software.
