Abstract
This paper analyzes and examines the various issues involved with the electronic filing of taxes. It discusses updated statistics regarding how many taxpayers e-file each year and provides a breakdown of the types of taxpayers who file. The process to safeguard information sent via e-filing is examined and the Internal Revenue Service's mission regarding e-filing is outlined. Requirements to e-file a return for various taxpayers and tax preparers are summarized and a detailed description of the various ways to e-file and the software used are explained. This paper concludes with recommendations for improving e-filing..
From the Paper
"The problem with security over the Internet in relation to the e-filing of tax returns is that taxpayers could suffer not only a loss of privacy but also financial losses if their data were used for crimes such as identity theft. In 1996, the agency had to scrap ambitious plans for an over-the-Internet filing system known as Cyberfile, in part because of security concerns. A recent report by the General Accounting Office indicated that investigators were able to access a key electronic filing system using a common hand-held computer."

"Now, disregarding all the statistical minutia that may or may not be relevant the author will make the following observations regarding the alternate model. This model is depicting the predictive power of the variance of the marginal individual income tax rates among all five income quintiles to the income tax receipts at the federal level. It is apparent from the model that nearly a quarter of the variation in the marginal tax receipts can be predicted through the marginal tax rate, ceteris paribus."

From the Paper
"This research compares, contrasts and critiques the U.S. Congress 1995 flat tax proposals with the 1986 tax format. The research also discusses the benefits and disadvantages of each for taxpayers. The Armey-Shelby flat tax, the most well known of the flat tax proposals, is based on the supply-side economics of former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack F. Kemp, who co-authored the Reagan tax cuts in 1981. Most of the flat tax proposals are similar in nature. All make major changes to the current tax code, which is based on the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The flat tax propositions are the first major proposed revisions of the Tax Code since that act.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was the first significant revision of the tax code since World War II, when the tax code was converted into a broad-based tax (Snow, 1992, p. 139). It..."

From the Paper
"This research paper examines the potential advantages and disadvantages from a public policy standpoint of various types of consumption-based taxes which have been proposed to remedy the deficiencies of the current federal tax system. A flat tax, rigorously applied, would be far superior to the present system because it would be simpler, fairer, a more efficient way of collecting public revenues and consistent with optimizing economic growth. However, it would benefit disproportionately higher income individual taxpayers, certain property owners and business generally and impose crushing burdens on lower income and many middle income taxpayers who depend on personal services income for maintaining their way of life and who consume most of..."

Electronic Certificates of Medical Necessity, 2004.
An analysis of the usefulness of electronic filing of certificates of medical necessity (e-CMN).

Abstract
Medical billing can now become a relatively painless process for the personnel in a medical facility through the electronic filing of certificates of medical necessity (e-CMN). This paper explains how manually filling out paperwork is very time consuming and is not very cost effective. However, the technological advancements created in the area of medical billing are very efficient. It looks at how, while many offices now fax the CMNs, the incorporation of e-CMNs into the medical office and billing process decreases overhead costs, reduces paperwork, and helps substantially with the on-going battle to comply with the ever-changing Medicare requirements. It argues that, while each of the previous reasons is enticing enough to consider incorporating e-CMNs into the office routine, the increase of revenue is certainly a major benefit and is the direct result of the time reduction with the filing process.
From the Paper
"In September of 2001, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services revised the Medicare Program Integrity Manual (PIM) to include the acceptance of faxed and electronic CMN?s and other electronic communication between suppliers and physicians while improving program integrity (Bachenheimer, 2002). The PIM included instructions for how e-CMNs should be created and used, while also specifying that they must ?adhere to all privacy, security, and electronic signature rules and regulations. Additionally, e-CMNs must contain identical questions/wording to the paper CMS forms, including the same pagination, and identical instructions along with definitions as printed on the back of the hardcopy form? (McClinton, 2002)."

Electronic Money, 2008.
This paper discusses electronic money in relation to the traditional banking methods, analyzing Berndt Kempa's article "Money in an Electronic World".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer notes that in his enlightening article regarding electronic money, "Money in an Electronic World", Bernd Kempa argues that electronic funds are not likely to replace traditional money any time soon but that the role of the central bank in determining a country's monetary policy may be affected. The writer points out that the Kempa voices these concerns in closing his research in which he successfully illustrates the development of electronic funds and cash. The writer discusses that companies such as eBay and Amazon.com have turned the retail industry upside down and these two companies alone handle billions of dollars annually in electronic funds across international markets without ever handling physical currencies. Yet, the writer maintains that central banks will continue to determine monetary policy because the simple fact is that none of these new economy institutions or the electronic funds that accompany new business models creates money themselves. The writer concludes that they only move currency values that have been created via traditional channels.

Developments in Electronic Money
Conclusion
From the Paper
"These observations are, while not being indicative of an impending catastrophe, somewhat alarming for economists who might be concerned with monetary policy at the national level. However, by raising such alarms, the author does not adequately support why he believes electronic funds might hold the potential to undermine such national economic and monetary policy when, in fact, all electronic funds originate first with the issuance of funds through traditional channels. No company that regularly operates in the financial markets, private or otherwise, has the ability to generate funds, whether electronic or otherwise, in any manner that supersedes the role or the oversight of the central banking systems."

Electronic Payment Systems, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of electronic payment systems in banking and global e-commerce.

Abstract
This paper explains that electronic banking, also known as electronic fund transfer or EFT, uses the computer and electronic technology instead of traditional checks and other paper transactions. The author points out that electronic payment systems, in comparison to tradition labor-intense systems, require human intervention only in specific problem cases thus saving the companies and their consumers time and money; however, customer self-service, through electronic payment systems, does not reduce costs if customers do not use it as an alternative to the traditional paper method. The paper relates that electronic commerce in developing countries permit better access to information and marketing opportunities but also have negative aspects such as delays and questionable security.

From the Paper
"At present, business organizations, consumers and government agencies throughout the world take advantage of payment technologies to send and receive funds (Kushawara 2003). Consumers pay their taxes and make other payments electronically; governments receive these taxes and distribute refunds also electronically; and enterprises put these modern technological tools to move payments and other funds. Electronic business payments have proved valuable in saving money, improving efficiency and helping deliver better returns to shareholders. With these benefits, organizations are better able to use their financial and human resource on more important or critical objectives and activities than on processes that need to be automated."

Abstract
As more and more human activities can be undertaken on the internet, such as entertainment and commerce, the challenge is set now for governments and international institutions to ensure high levels of security for electronic communications, both private and commercial. Through the analysis of the technological background, the international legislative framework and sociological issues, the paper evaluates and highlights the main drawbacks and problems related with electronic communication. It identifies the structural, legislative and sociological reasons which prevent a generalized adoption of means of authentication and secure communication on-line, such as electronic signatures. The paper indicates solutions and guidelines to conduct electronic commerce and electronic communications to a broader diffusion and to build the average man?s confidence in trading and interacting online.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Apart from these evaluations, both signatures are mechanisms for secure information management and ?symbols that signifies intent? , specifically the intention to authenticate a documents. Intent means that a security system must guarantee the non-repudiation of a message containing a declaration by assuring that the sender cannot later deny having sent that message. The application of this function in the electronic context presents the most problematic issues because of the unclear definition of the non-repudiation technical meaning . The uncertainty of this definition and the doubts about the limits of the binding capacity of a declaration electronically signed are probably one of the main reasons of the scarce confidence in using e-signatures to conclude on-line transaction."

From the Paper
"Where did the corporate income tax begin? How does it affect our economy? What is the future of the corporate income tax? Will deleting corporate income tax be the answer for the economy? What about cutting part of this tax? How does the corporate income tax help the economy? These are questions that will be answered in this paper as well as how the corporate tax is affecting our economy now.
The Beginning of Corporate Income Tax
"How the corporate tax began is an example of why tax systems can be worse than they should be and how little influence the economic profession has on government policy (Norton 2). Sometimes ideals look great when they are not that sound. Corporate taxes were used during wartime until 1909, when Congress enacted a 1 percent tax on corporation income. The rate increased until 1932 to 12.5 percent when the rate was changed to the progressive rates. Norton stated, ?Surtaxes on corporate income were added for ?excess profits? during both world wars. The highest peacetime rate, 52.8 percent, was reached in the sixties? (2). "

From the Paper
"Successful e-payment methods share a number of characteristics. These are: independence, interoperability and portability, security, anonymity, divisibility, ease of use, and transaction fees. Independence refers to the ability of e-commerce methods to operate without installing specialized software. Those e-commerce methods that do not require specialized hardware or software are more likely to be successful. Interoperability and portability refers to the ability of forms of e-commerce to interlink with other enterprise applications and systems. Security is an important consideration that encompasses the safety of the transfer and the chance of the transfer being intercepted. Anonymity is a characteristic of cash payments, where payment cannot be traced back to the buyer."

Electronic Banking, 2006.
This paper argues in favor of electronic banking rather than traditional checks.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while there are some consumers who remain loyal to checks for security reasons and the comfort of seeing things in print, more and more customers are enjoying electronic payments; therefore, electronic transactions are transforming the banking industry. The author points out that, in addition to electronic payments being convenient, they are less expensive for the consumer, particularly through the use of online bill payment, and offer opportunities for rewards for using credit and debit cards. The paper states that, in other countries, banks have been able to make checks all but obsolete by charging considerably more for check transactions than for other forms of payment. The paper includes several long quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the Banking System is moving toward becoming paperless, American's still write more checks per person than any other industrialized nation. An article entitled "Why do we Use so many checks" asserts that in the year 2000 49.6 billion checks were written and were valued at $47.7 trillion. The author explains that unlike other countries the United States experienced an increase in check writing during the 1990's which has contributed to the continued use of checks. As was previously mentioned in this discussion, the number of checks that are now being used has begun to decrease, but it is still a significant amount. "

Paying Taxes, 2005.
A look at reasons why people are generally against paying taxes.

Abstract
This paper explains that apart from the mere principle behind the wish to avoid paying taxes, there are also some concrete and even valid motivations for this trend. The paper explains that these include reasons relating to government corruption and the tendency of the very rich to evade their own tax paying responsibilities. Furthermore it appears, according to some, that the economy does not benefit from current tax legislation, and that this is mainly a result of the corruption mentioned above.

From the Paper
"Doubtlessly, taxes are necessary. The Government needs funding in order to provide its people with the highest quality of goods and services. Recreation and roads for example are maintained by means of taxes. Taxes, while applied for the benefit of society, are therefore not so much an evil as a necessity. One could therefore agree with Johnston in his assessment that taxes are the price for a civilized society. Nonetheless, Americans have a very negative attitude towards this issue, and perhaps not without reason."
