It appears from the posts on both sides of the efile issue that there really is no time saved by either method of filing. It is just time spent doing different things to finish a tax return. Thus, it appears the only person really benefiting from efiling is the IRS. Maybe efiling will free up the IRS to give them more time to audit efilers?
edit: did I hear recently some statistic that the IRS was losing millions to efile fraud as it was so easy to submit a fake return for EIC refunds? or something like that.
