How to File North Carolina Taxes Online
Filing your North Carolina taxes online, also known as "e-filing" has become the most popular way for North Carolina taxpayers to pay their taxes. The North Carolina Department of Revenue estimates that 2/3 of the income tax returns filed in the state in 2009 were filed electronically. Professional tax preparers can do this task for you. However, if you would like to do it yourself, the instructions below will walk you through the process.
