IRS Proposes Paperless in 2011 and I agree

The IRS issued a news bulletin last week that it is proposing that all deposits for taxes be done by electronic funds transfer or EFT.  The IRS has long had a reliable system in place for making deposits via EFT and I for one think it is about high time they went paperless.  There is no reason to keep paying clerks etc to handle paper when it can be done quickly and cleanly with far less "human error" on the side of the IRS.  Most of the country is use to using electronic methods for deposits or withdrawals or information.  Those that aren't can catch up with the rest of us, which they should anyway.

So to the IRS I say bravo!  Go 100% paperless deposits in 2011 and move the government into the 21st century with the rest of us.

What do you think?

Just a quick note, I will not have a blog for tomorrow or Thursday.  I have a family medical procedure to attend to and will return on Monday.

We will be covering the latest news from the IRS, Department of Labor, Social Security Administration and all 50 states.  So whether it is the new tax amnesty program in Kansas, going paperless at the IRS in 2011 or giving the IRS a comment on the Form W-11 you will find it in our "Latest Updates" section.

To save time be sure to sign up for our free news bulletin.  We issue the news bulletin whenever a story breaks so you don't get dozens of e-mails a day with some trivial story and 10 columns of advertisement.  We issue the news bulletin when we have information to send. So you may get one on Tuesday but not again until the following Monday.  We want to make sure you have the latest news but not be bothered otherwise. You have a payroll to get out and we know that.
