An Important Message to Utah Taxpayers
Tax preparers are required to electronically file Utah individual income tax returns they prepare. By filing electronically, the taxpayer receives
the following benefits.
Faster processing
 Electronic returns are processed faster than paper returns.
Quicker refunds
 Taxpayers who file electronically generally receive their refund within two weeks.
 Taxpayers who file the regular paper return generally receive their refund within six to eight weeks.
 Using direct deposit can speed up the refund even more.
More accurate returns
 Electronically filed returns are checked and corrected before submitting.
 Paper returns must be handled and checked manually.
The Utah State Tax Commission strongly urges you to allow your preparer to electronically file your return. However, if you do not want your
return filed electronically, you can elect out by completing Part 1 of this form and giving it to your tax return preparer. The preparer will retain
this form in the event of an audit by the Tax Commission.
