Filing a paper return has some benefits over other methods of filing.

Benefits include:

• It's familiar.
• It's comprehensive.
• It's easy to review for errors. You also can easily find income or deduction amounts on a prior-year return.
• You can easily make copies of your return to give to financial institutions when applying for a loan or a home mortgage.

Even if you e-file, you should print a copy of your return for your records.
