According to the Department of Revenue, around April 15 the last-minute rush of incoming tax forms slows down the issuance of refund checks.
Electronic filing eliminates the labor of opening mail and data entry, and cuts down on human error.
In order to encourage electronic filing, the Department of Revenue recently revised its methods so that refunds from electronic filing will be paid within 10 days. It's really streamlined the process. The errors can be checked electronically - you don't have an individual punching in the information manually. Associated Professional Services is an authorized e-File provider. That approach is much quicker than mailed returns, Stites said.
