The article presents the October 2011 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on electronic-filing (e-filing) individual tax returns in the country. The report highlights the country's Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) e-file mandate, its implementation, and the benefits of filing tax returns electronically. It also explores e-file rates and the experiences of tax preparers on the mandate, IRS's options for data digitalization, and data processing and e-file planning.
