Even if the tax service you choose informs you they are filing your tax returns electronically, they should still be able to give you a copy of your taxes. You will need to keep a hard or electronic copy for your records. Many people keep them for proof of filing, proof of income, or in case of an audit. If the tax service does not agree to give you a copy, you should be concerned. That being said, you may not get a copy immediately to take with you out of the door because, in the rush of tax season, the filing lines are long. However, your copy should be mailed, emailed, or available for pick-up within a few days.
