ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE CERTIFIES TRUSTFILE FOR E-FILINGS; SOFTWARE OFFERED FREE FOR A YEAR

BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 10 -- Trustfile, the national leader in electronic sales tax e-filing and e-payment software, has been certified for use by the Illinois Department of Revenue. Illinois businesses can now use the software to file their state returns electronically, using an easy, efficient, and secure program that offers numerous advantages to paper filing.

Trustfile is offering a free one-year subscription which can be ordered at http://www.trustfile.com. Trustfile regularly sells for $129 a year but the company is offering Illinois users a trial subscription for one year. There is no obligation to buy. Trustfile has developed software that is currently approved for use in ten states with ten more to be added this year.

"E-filing is the wave of the future and though Illinois has not yet required that all sales taxes be filed electronically, e-filing makes sense for businesses due to its efficiency and accuracy," said King Woolf, Trustfile's President and Chief Operating Officer. "Trustfile eases the learning curve for first-time e-filers and offers important safeguards for confidential data that might not otherwise be protected by transmitting returns over the internet. Trustfile's technical support is only a phone call away for those who may need it."

Trustfile is compatible with most accounting and financial programs like Quicken or Peachtree and will import data from other software or spreadsheets. Trustfile uses existing data to complete tax forms, checks it for accuracy and then transmits it confidentially and safely to the state's Department of Revenue. Users receive a confirmation after they transmit, assuring them that the Department of Revenue received their return.

The software may be used by any business -- large or small -- that is required to file state and use taxes in Illinois and offers key benefits:

Ease -- Helpful wizards walk users through the process, step by step. Trustfile imports the data from the user's own systems, saving time and protecting confidentiality. In addition, preparers can print out a copy of their return for review before actually e-filing and file for multiple business entities during one session.

Confidence in safe, secure e-filing -- Trustfile allows businesses to prepare and retain their data securely on their own systems and transmit only their encrypted return information over the internet. That protects the privacy of the data and Trustfile archives the information within the user's own system for easy reference, planning or audit purposes.

Prompt Technical Support -- Trustfile's help desk of qualified personnel is just a phone call away, and is offered free of charge to all Trustfile users.

Multiple state filings -- In addition to Illinois, Trustfile is approved for e-filings in Wisconsin, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana.
