I'd bet that you have that backwards. They hire people to key in all the
data to thier system, but they also hired people to write the eceltronic
submission front end to massage that data into thier existing system so
that when you file electronicly, they can pretend you did it on paper.

They key it all in, I'm sure, it's not that big a deal.

Unlikely. Given the number of bumbling americans out in the world, I
suspect that there's a great deal of folks who are putting things together
worng. Far more than they can chase down anyway. You just end up making
the life of some sort term hired guy a bit more difficult as he seeks to
get his hourly quota of return opened and processed.

Feh, like I'm one to comment on such a thing.

They could very well freak out and investigate you six ways from Sunday,
maybe even prosecute you. But probably, the low level guy handling it
wouldn't notice.
