User: List one benefit and one disadvantage of filing your taxes electronically.

Note: The main disadvantage is that certain things cannot be done on an electronic filing (such as claim a child who someone else already claimed, [ even if that person did so illegally and you are entitled to claim the child and could do so if you filed on paper), and if you agree to electronic filing and use some dishonest or incompetent tax preparers (including some H&R Block locations), they will tell you that you cannot do these things at all, rather than do the extra work to file on paper. There are lots of advantages. You can receive a refund anticipation loan. Disadvantages are harder to come by. If IRS rejects your return you may end up having to go back to your preparer to file a paper return. Some people really travel a long ways for their tax preparation ( I have one that flies up from Dallas to Iowa for the last 5 or 6 years).http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100525084738AAFx0JN ]

Note: I'm sorry that that wasn't a good answer. Please hold on while I contact an expert.

Weegy: One benefit of filing your taxes electronically is that it is faster and cheaper, less effort also.
