Does this scenario sound familiar?

The benefits of using efile to file your taxes.

Efile is the fastest way to file your taxes and efiling cuts the tax return processing time in about half. So, if you are expecting a tax refund then you can expect your tax refund in about half of the time it would normally take if you filed your taxes by mailing in your tax return. If you are expecting a tax refund you can have your tax refund deposited directly into your bank account by using Direct Deposit. Our tax service also lets you split your tax refund into two different accounts if you choose direct deposit.

If you efile your taxes the additional benefits are many. You will receive proof from the IRS, usually within 48 hours that your tax return was filed successfully, the security of knowing your tax return was accepted, the tax filing process itself is faster and also efile itself is very accurate.

Even if you owe taxes this year, there are still advantages to efiling your tax return and it does not matter when you efile your tax return. You can efile now and pay later, as long as you pay what you owe by April 15th and by efiling you will have the proof, usually within 48 hours, that your tax return was accepted by the IRS.

Now you can now have your taxes deducted right from your bank account (checking or savings) on any date you choose and the IRS will deduct the amount you owe on that date, as long as the date is on or before April 15th. You can even make a partial payment at the time you efile as long as you pay off the remainder before April 15th.

Not every state accepts the efiling of state tax returns yet.

The following states do support the efile of your state tax returns:

Alabama Kansas New York Arizona Kentucky North Carolina Arkansas Louisiana North Dakota California Maine Ohio Colorado Maryland Oklahoma Connecticut Massachusetts Oregon Delaware Michigan Pennsylvania Minnesota Rhode Island Georgia Mississippi South Carolina Hawaii Missouri Utah Idaho Montana Vermont Illinois Nebraska Virginia Indiana New Jersey West Virginia Iowa New Mexico Wisconsin District of Columbia

There is NO fee for efiling. The IRS does not charge a fee for efile and neither does FileYourTaxesNow.com. Efile is a free service with any paid tax return. If you are using a tax preparation website or tax preparation software that charges you an extra fee for efiling, then they are ripping you off!

Available today from several providers, satellite Internet requires a separate dish antenna mounted at the customer’s home, along with cable running to a satellite modem that connects to a personal computer. Previously this required an upfront investment of hundreds of dollars for home equipment, which also required professional installation. Other drawbacks included reliability issues due to weather related problems, and difficulty in scheduling rapid service calls.

To overcome these challenges, brothers Dwayne & Michael Hay founded SkyWay USA in rural Jackson, Kentucky. For less than $100, the SkyWay USA system can be ordered online, shipped directly to your home, and self-installed in a matter of hours. Coupled with an entry-level service fee of $29.95/month, SkyWay USA touts itself as rural America’s low-cost satellite Internet provider.

“We’ve even had a 69 year old grandmother install the system”, reports SkyWay USA CEO George Dick.

Since the test launch this summer, hundreds of customers in rural areas across America have signed up for SkyWay USA. Dick, a successful entrepreneur working from SkyWay USA’s new Louisville, Kentucky headquarters believes that is just the beginning. Industry estimates are that 10 million American homes do not have access to DSL or cable. SkyWay USA plans on growing to 10,000 customers by this summer, and over 100,000 customers by 2009.

Shipments of the newest version of the external satellite modem (nicknamed “The Jackrabbit”) are ramping up. Designed and made in Sweden, SkyWay USA owns the exclusive marketing rights in North America. Keeping jobs in small town America is important to SkyWay USA, so it was a “no-brainer” when they chose Winegard Corp. in Burlington, Iowa to mass produce the special 28″ dish antenna.

Installation has been greatly simplified with the help of a proprietary device called the “SkyBeeper”, which emits a high-pitched tone as the homeowner points the dish antenna at the satellite. There’s no software to load, and SkyWay USA works equally well with Windows, Mac, and even Vista. Most importantly, because SkyWay USA utilizes a special hybrid technology, the annoying rain-fade suffered by satellite TV and other satellite Internet systems has been virtually eliminated.

SkyWay USA continues to operate their tech support and customer service at the Jackson, KY location. “Bringing high-tech jobs to rural America is one of our proudest achievements”, proudly states founder Dwayne Hay, born and raised in nearby Hazard, KY. “We believe rural Americans should be helping rural Americans. We wouldn’t dream of outsourcing something as important as customer service to a call center in Asia.”

You can contact SkyWay USA for service at www.skywayusa.com or by calling (866) 697-5992. SkyWay USA, LLC is headquartered at 1302 Clear Springs Trace, Louisville, KY 40223.
