Are you ready for … E-filing? [Updated]

The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Civil Division recently promulgated e-filing Rule *205.4 which took effect on 1/1/2008. Don’t get too worked up about it yet, a note in the rule specifically states:

Electronic Filing will be implemented in 2008; however, the exact date is not known at this time. The Administrative Judge of the Trial Division will announce the implementation dates of discretionary and mandatory electronic filing by order issued as required by Pa.R.C.P. No. 239.

I encourage you to read Dan J. Siegel’s recent article in the Law Practice Management supplement to the Fall 2007 issue of The Philadelphia Lawyer, E-Filing is Coming: Here’s How to Prepare*. He points out the many benefits of e-filing and that the process is meant to make it easier to file and access pleadings and other filings. Most importantly he states:

E-filing is not nearly the daunting challenge that some believe.

Stay tuned for effective date information.

Updated August 5, 2008: E-filing became effective Aug. 4th. The program is optional until Jan. 5, 2009. Help with e-filing is available in Room 127 in City Hall.

Straight from the IRS: Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Will Affect the 2008 Filing Season

If you are like me then you already have your taxes e-filed and you are waiting for your refund. Many people have not heard that the IRS is requiring tax payers who file certain forms to wait until February 11, 2008 to file their taxes. Some of the forms are pretty common like the Schedule 2 for Child and Dependent Care Expenses and form 8396 for Mortgage Interest Credit. See what other forms will require the February 11 start date.

You can also subscribe to the IRS e-News to get up to date information.
