E-Filing Conversion Taxes IRS
Sandra Block writes on USA Today:
The IRS is encountering resistance to its effort to encourage electronic filing of federal taxes from millions of tech-savvy taxpayers who refuse to e-file because of the cost or security concerns.More here.
About 55% of taxpayers are expected to e-file this year, up from 51% in 2005. But last year, 36 million taxpayers or their tax preparers — more than a quarter of individual filers — prepared tax returns on a computer, printed them out and mailed them to the IRS. A mailed-in return costs $2.49 to process vs. 78 cents for one that's e-filed, the IRS says.

And there's the urban myth that filing by paper may make an audit more difficult or less likely.
Or is the myth in fact true?
