For over ten years now North Dakota has provided taxpayers with the option to electronically file their individual income tax returns through a tax preparer, by using the IRS Fed State E-file, or with the Free File Alliance. Beginning with the 2009 return, North Dakota offers a third option, Individual Income Tax WebFile, for individuals who are full-year residents and are filing simple tax returns.

The following chart will help you learn more about the three methods. To find out which method, Free File, IRS E-File, or WebFile, to use, use this simple interactive tool. By answering a few easy questions, you will learn which method will work best for you.

Free File, IRS E-File, and WebFile
What is it	The free e-file services are available through a partnership between the state, the IRS, and the private tax software industry. A number of tax software companies offer to prepare and file tax returns free for taxpayers who meet certain criteria.	Your tax information is keyed into a computer and sent electronically to the IRS, which then sends the state portion to the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner.	WebFile is an electronic filing option for full-year residents filing simple returns. With WebFile, taxpayers may transmit their North Dakota return directly to the state Tax Department. Taxpayers must have a completed copy of their federal return before they use WebFile.
Who qualifies	Each company sets its’ own conditions, which are usually based on factors such as age, military status, or adjusted gross income.	IRS E-file is available to anyone to use to file their federal and state income tax returns.	Taxpayers who are full-year residents and filing simple tax returns with no additions, subtractions, credits or other adjustments.
