Get a Jump on 2008 Tax Refunds With Early E-Filings

Posted on: Wednesday, 14 January 2009, 12:03 CST

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) doesn't officially accept tax returns from e-filers until January 16th. However, taxpayers can file their returns electronically with CitizenTax.com now, and get a jump on the process.

"When you enter your information and file your return with CitizenTax.com, we will save it and transmit it to the IRS on the morning of Friday the 16th," explains J. Gregg Rollins, president and chief executive officer of CititzenTax.com, an IRS-authorized e-filing provider. "Those returns will be among the first to be processed by the IRS and, as a result, filers using our service will be among the first to get their refunds by check or through direct deposit." Rollins adds that this is the first time that the company is offering this service to its customers. Early filing is expected to be higher than average this year due to the recession and its impact across all income levels. "CitizenTax.com is ready with additional capacity to handle those returns so that our clients can receive their monies as soon as possible during these economically difficult times," says Rollins.
