6 ways Account View paperless forms simplify tax time

Bill Harwood |

Tax time can be stressful, and often means a lot of time and paperwork, but you can reduce some of the stress by going paperless with your tax documents. You can receive tax documents (and many additional mailings) electronically by selecting the paperless option inside the Account View portal.

Paperless tax-time benefits 

  • Quicker access: download tax forms the day they’re available, versus waiting five-to-seven days for documents to arrive by mail.
  • Save time: import information directly into TurboTax—no need for manual entry.
  • Ultra convenient: view and download tax documents from one location, at anytime.
  • Peace of mind: paperless delivery is more secure, and you have 24/7 access to current and past documents.
  • Stay in the know: you’ll get an email alert when your documents are ready.
  • Environmentally friendly: electronic delivery reduces waste, saving 120+ pieces of paper per year.
