Filing Electronic Tax Returns

I currently am doing contract work for a large partnership based in Alpharetta that is owned by a US company and a British company. One initiative that is being pushed this year is for the state income tax group to file more state income tax returns electronically as opposed to the traditional way of mailing returns that the company prints from a computer after processing the return in tax software. A few states require companies filing partnership or corporate returns to file tax returns electronically, and management sees this trend as growing as time goes on.

I will be updating this blog as time goes on and share what states will be filed electronically as opposed to by mail, and I will discuss why I think states are looking to have corporate and partnership entities file returns electronically.
