electronically filed since the IRS does not process returns by hand. So
the question becomes, do you want to mail it in and have some temp who
knows nothing about taxes copying numbers into a data terminal, or do
you want me to send it directly from my computer to theirs knowing that
what they'll get is exactly what you see on my screen. I've explained
it that way to some folks who kind of had an epiphany. Sometimes I ask
them first how they think returns are processed. The more complex the
return, the better this argument is.
