Happy Tax Day! It actually came late this year, though some of us still may be working down to the wire. Get things done fast and simply by going completely "e" with your taxes this year.

The first thing you'll want to do is file electronically. You can do this in many different ways, but basically, you'll be taking the paper out of the process. Seventy-three million tax returns were filed electronically in 2006! That's what we call tree-happy taxes! Plus, there is a program available to some lower income families called Free File, which offers free e-filing.

Owe money? Ouch. Lessen the pain by not writing out a check - that just hurts. Instead, pay Uncle Sam electronically via credit card. You're paperless on those credit card statements anyway, right?

Getting money? Yeessss! Get a direct deposit and you'll not only save paper printing and mailing, but you'll get your money back almost a month sooner.

Oh, and don't forget about your phone credit, which you don't really need. Consider donating it to Refunds for Good.

Rebecca says: This is a themed tip for Tax Day, but everyone has already filed theirs, right? I mean, it was done back in February, for sure. If so, then feel free to check this one off without even lifting a finger!
