Millions file taxes by telephone By Amy Keller Staff Reporter Christy Talbot refuses to send the IRS her taxes. The full-time Gallup employee will file her taxes over the phone instead of mailing them. TeleFile is an alternative to tradi tional mail-in tax returns. This is the second year the telephone tax-filing service has been available in Lincoln. With 3 million users nationwide and 30,000 users in Nebraska, the phone-filing method is quickly gain ing popularity, said Bruce Morrison, electronic filing coordinator for the Internal Revenue Service in Omaha. Farrol Shada of Lincoln did taxes by phone the past two years for her son, Matt Shada, a senior physical education major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “It’s a convenient way to do taxes, and it may save us federal funds and cut the amount of work for the IRS in the long run,” she said. When using TeleFile, tax refunds are guaranteed to be sent within three weeks of filing the taxes, Morrison said. The quick return isn’t the only advantage, he said. TeleFile is paperless and quick, and there’s no, income tax return to fill in, Morrisoni said. The three steps to use the system include: filling out the tax record in , I the TeleFile booklet, collecting W-2 forms from employers of the past year and calling the toll-free TeleFile num ber. To use TeleFile, taxpayers must have no dependents and have a tax able interest income of $400 or less. The IRS pre-selects people who meet the conditions and automatically mails all eligible taxpayers a packet about TeleFile. “They can do it seven days a week, 24 hours a day, right from their home,” Morrison said. i u They can do it seven days a week, 24 hours a day, right from their home.” Bruce Morrison electronic filing coordinator The Daily Nebraskan is now accepting applications for senior positions for the fall semester.
