Electronic filing begins Jan. 15: On-line filing now available
■After finishing among the top
five states nationwide in each of
first three years, Electronic
Filing in Georgia will attempt to
emulate that success when it
begins accepting 1998 Income
Tax Returns on Friday, Jan. 15,
the-Department of Revenue
(DOR) announced today.
-'A participant in the Joint
Fed/State Electronic Filing
Program in conjunction with the
Internal Revenue Service, the
DOR will accept electronically
filed returns through Oct. 15.
Electronic filing
has proven
' . immensely
popular in
Georgia.
:.Eor interested Internet users,
an additional feature this year is
the introduction of On-Line
Filing via the Internet. In addi
tion to filing their Federal and
State of Georgia returns using
an approved tax preparer (also
known as an ERO - Electronic
Returns Originator), taxpayers
can also file their returns from
home using a personal computer
in either of two ways: First, by
purchasing the appropriate tax
preparation software and trans
mitting their returns electroni
cally. And second, by contact
ing-one of the following three
software companies that offer
Oq-Line Filing for Georgia and
logging on to their Website. The
companies and their Website
addresses are: Intuit Inc., San
Diego, Calif, (turbotax.com);
Secure Tax, Rome, Ga. (secure
tax.com) and Taxslayer,
Augusta, Ga. (taxslayer@taxs
•layer, com).
“Electronic Filing has proven
immensely popular in Georgia,”
said DOR Commissioner T.
Jerry Jackson. “Last year, over
485,000 Georgia returns were
filed electronically, and the
Department anticipates another
