Wow! He is around my age and thinks like my Mom. I've used the same tax attorney for years and decades and even he moved to electronic filing long ago. I don't have any bill I pay by check. I'm wracking my brain trying to think of the last check I wrote to anyone.
I have only one check that I write each month and that is my apartment complex utility charges. That is because if I direct my bank to pay it for me (no charge) I have to adjust the amount every time. So I might just as well write a check and drop at the office. Otherwise it is all online payments. The rent I pay via a back payment because even though the complex has it's own 'pay online' system they charge $4.00 to use it. I'll be damned if I am going to pay someone to have access to my money. They are the only ones that I have ever run across that charges extra to have a guaranteed payment every month. Oh, well.

He knew it was coming. First he was like, "I hope you didn't pay for TurboTax" and then when my mom and I asked him if he understood the meaning of the word free (literally we both said it at once), then he was fine.

He's still trying to say that doing taxes by hand and sending them in via mail is the correct way to do things....he also tells me I should mail in my credit card payments every month instead of paying online, and we know that isn't happening. I think I'm going to start a list: stuff Dad thinks I should do but isn't happening...

What's interesting here is that companies and magazines are saying the service model of the future is through connection points like this. Like when you file your taxes and you indicate you bought a house this year, they could then offer to help you select insurance or whatnot. Or if you're using quickbooks to do your accounting and you indicate that you hired a new associate, it could offer you 401k options right in the system.

The future is definitely not by snail mail.
