The term "Federal/State" means that the DC return must be transmitted with the federal return to the IRS. Electronically filed returns provide a variety of advantages, including a shorter refund turnaround time and electronic acknowledgment of receipt of your return.

There are two ways to participate in this E-File program:

1. E-File Through a Paid Preparer
   Many local tax preparation services participate in DC E-File. When you find a preparer to electronically file your DC return, please remember that you must file your federal return electronically at the same time.
