Many taxpayers can now e-file their Massachusetts income tax returns directly with the Department of Revenue – using the Department’s free WebFile program.
Mass. Free e-File is free, convenient and completely secure – and you can file from the comfort of your own home. In addition:
* all calculations are done for you – no math mistakes with Webfile
* refunds and payments can be tracked
* you can start your return, save it and finish later
* Once you register, Webfile saves your account information – saving you time in future years
Plus, unlike the disbanded Telefile program, you don’t have to listen to telephone recordings or call back if you make a mistake.
