• E-FILE
  
  Shorthand for electronic filing. The submission of a tax return to the IRS via electronic, rather than paper, means. Taxpayers can e-file through an electronic return originator (ERO), personal computer software, or over the telephone through the IRS TeleFile program. E-filing usually speeds IRS processing, reducing turnaround time for refunds and the detection of errors on returns.
