Personal Finance and Investing

Some people need to file paper tax returns because they have an unusual form or a prior identity theft, but most can e-file.

Filers who submit paper returns risk an array of problems, such as key-punch errors on name or taxpayer ID numbers, or even a form getting dropped on the floor. When pandemic tasks like stimulus payments diverted IRS resources from return processing, a large chunk of the backlog was paper returns.

I have been using them since 2000 and, of course, they have changed.

Still, except for two years ago I know my way around and our returns are pretty simple: Social Security and RMD and on occasion selling stocks. A busy itemized deductions, though, so.... I am staying for now.

Good luck
