e-Filing

What is e-Filing?

e-Filing refers to the electronic submission of tax returns, financial reports, and regulatory documents to government agencies through approved digital channels. This replaces traditional paper filing with secure online transmission, offering faster processing, immediate confirmation, reduced errors through validation checks, and improved record-keeping.

In accounting practice, e-filing software integrates with tax preparation systems, automates formatting requirements for different jurisdictions, and manages electronic signatures. e-Filing has become mandatory for many tax types and business sizes, improving efficiency for both filers and tax authorities. It enables faster refunds, reduces administrative burden, and supports paperless accounting operations.
