As the clock ticks toward the April 15 tax filing deadline a lot of people get stressed out getting all their papers in order.
Both the Internal Revenue Services and Maine Revenue Services are encouraging Mainers to file electronically early.
Electronic filing tends to be faster, more accurate and provides prompt confirmation that the IRS has received your return. E-filed returns combined with direct deposit can result in a faster way to receive your tax refund, with most payments issued less than 21 days, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
