A tax service provided nationally by the IRS from 1997-2005 that allowed taxpayers filing form 1040EZ to phone in their tax returns with a touch-tone phone. Telefile was provided as a service of convenience for taxpayers with simple tax returns. The Telefile service worked by letting taxpayers dial the numbers on their tax return directly into the phone to report their income. Telefile was not a service that could be ordered; eligible taxpayers automatically received the Telefile package in the mail. It was first tested in Ohio and its service was eventually expanded to include self-employed filers. Telefile was replaced in the U.S. by electronic filing in 2005, but is still in use in Canada.

A regulation relating to IRA rollovers stipulating that whenever a financial asset is withdrawn from a retirement account or IRA (for the purpose of funding a new IRA, for example), it must be rolled over into the same property (or format) of an IRA. Unless the party involved is over 59.5 years of age, failure to comply with this rule will result in the IRS taxing the withdrawn asset as ordinary income. Suppose George, a 50-year-old male, decided to buy some shares with money from his IRA account. After, he decides to place the shares in a new IRA in order to defer taxes. Since his withdrawal asset changed properties (it changed from cash to shares) during the rollover and he is under 59.5, he will end up owing tax on the withdrawn amount at a rate that equals his normal income tax rate and also incur a 10% penalty.
