There are several ways you may choose to participate in the IRS e-file for Business (http://www.irs.gov/efile/content/0,,id=101103,00.html) programs. Whatever your choice, participation in IRS e-file for Business programs is e-fficient with increased accuracy, it's more e-ffective since you'll spend less time filing tax returns and more time focused on your business, and it's more e-conomical with less paperwork.
