    Paperless Office

    I have been giving some thought to going paperless in my small, one person office. I know there has been past discussions of this, but did not need to address this, until this tax season.

    Currently, I have been hard-copying all data from large returns, but not the smaller, simple ones. This is just becoming unacceptable to me.

    Seems to me, the easiest way is to scan, save to a folder then copy all this data and return data to a CD. There has been talk of external harddrives, but I have been told they crash often (???) and this has me worried.

    What is the most time and cost effective way to start this?

    Dennis, when we talk on Thursday I'll get more facts about your business and help you zero in a system that will work for you. I've been 100% paperless for 2 yrs now but was toying around with various systems 2 years before that. Let's see, yep that's 4 years.

    "You will not have to scan the tax returns, you will be able to print directly into the scanning program. The only scanning will be other documents not being generated by your computer."

        Dennis, see the thread also that was last posted to about 7/2/05. Bob W, I am anxious to hear about your experiences in 4 years to set up paperless as well.

          Thanks, Sandy.

          I went and looked at the posts you referred to. I forgot they were there until I read them. Must be the summer heat!
