TeleFile is the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's automated voice-response system used by millions of taxpayers to file a 1040EZ tax return form. It is famous for the female voice that meticulously confirms every entry:
- "If you have more W-2s, press one. If you do NOT have more W-2s, press two."
- "You have indicated that you have more W-2s. If this is correct, press one. If this is INcorrect, press two..."
The system allows a user to have his refund directly deposited to his bank account by dialing his routing number and account number. Since these sensitive numbers are repeated back for confirmation, use of this particular TeleFile feature by cell phone is not necessarily safe.
