Feds Urge Taxpayers to Pay Taxes Online

Although I filed my taxes online the past few years, and I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I'm always a little skeptical whenever the Feds urge me to do anything online. :-)

An AP newswire article by Eileen Alt Powell, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Uncle Sam wants you to pay your taxes — simply. The U.S. Treasury on Tuesday launched a national campaign to urge individuals, tax preparers and small businesses to pay taxes electronically via the government's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, or EFTPS.

In the government's most recent fiscal year, 78 million EFTPS payments were processed, most of them from large corporations. At the same time, 42 million payments involved the traditional paper coupon and check.
