What is an Authorized IRS E-File Provider?
An authorized IRS e-file provider is a tax professional or firm who is accepted into the
IRS electronic filing program. One type of Authorized IRS e-file Provider is an Electronic
Return Originator (ERO). An ERO is a person or firm that taxpayers entrust with tax
information for the purpose of filing income tax returns electronically in the IRS e-file
program.
1987 was the first year e-file was available in Ohio. James Income Tax Service became one
of the first e-file providers in Trumbull County. We file directly to IRS, not through a
third party. We also e-file Ohio State returns free of charge when we prepare and e-file
your federal returns.
