Have your tried e-Filing? (4)

I know it is a bit too late to inform you this (as usual), but at least I tried before the deadline.

If you are using dial-up connection, with a PC more than one year old with Adobe Reader Version 6.0 and plan to submit your income tax return tonight through e-Filing, it is probably too late. But still no harm to try...

Just few days ago I helped a friend to submit his and his wife tax return through e-Filing. Using broadband, it took me about slightly less than two hours to complete the task. Filling up the form is easy and fast. The problem lies in the PDF file. Yes, the Adobe Reader.

The e-Filing form is in PDF format. Therefore you need Adobe Reader. The problem is IRB is using the latest version of Adobe Reader. You need Adobe Reader Version of 7.0.5 and above in order to open the e-Filing form for filling up and submission.

Most two-year-old computers, i.e. like mine and my friend's, have Adobe Reader Version 6.0. To upgrade it to Version 7.0.5, we need to upgrade it to Version 7.0 first. We need to download about 20 MB of file. From Version 7.0 to Version 7.0.5, we need to download another 9MB.

Using broadband, it took me almost one hour to upgrade the Adobe Reader. If you are using dail-up tmnet or jaring, it will take you probably few hours or days to get it done.

You can be still on time if you have broadband connection at home. Otherwise go to your friend house who has broadband connection or internet cafe to get your e-filing done. Just remember to delete your digital certificate stored in the PC.

Goodluck.
