Would you send your tax information overseas?
Before you decide who will electronically file your return or choose software or a website to do it yourself, be sure to find out the location of the center, if any, where your data will be sent before it goes to the IRS and your State. Many of these filing centers are overseas. The use of an overseas filing center will be disclosed to you in something you have to sign but this bit of information may be easy to overlook. The problem with sending your data overseas is that laws differ from country to country and while overseas your data may not be treated with the privacy and security protections you expect. I have always used filing centers in the US. The center I will use in 2010 is in Franklin North Carolina and if I prepare your return your data never leaves this country.
