[Hidden-tech] E-Filing for Mass

[Arlen Collins]

We are an LLC set up as a partnership and Massachusetts DOR has notified us
that we must file our partnership returns electronically.  To do so we would
either need to purchase "approved" software which begins around $1500 best
we can tell, or we can hire an accountant to do our returns and transmit
them.  We currently do our own taxes since the record keeping is what is
difficult and the putting together of the form is pretty easy with existing
software.  The question we have is, does anyone know an accountant who, for
a modest fee would agree to just transmit our form(s) to the DOR?

By the way, the threshold for the requirement for this is a whopping $50,000
in profit or in loss.  We are significantly bigger than that, but it seems
like quite a burden on many small companies.  The fine is apparently about
$200 for paper filing, but that is a lot less than the software or an
accountant.  The fine might be a great business decision, but it certainly
ain't small business friendly.

Thank you in advance,
Arlen Collins
