filer

Sends tax forms

A filer is someone who files—submitting documents to an official body or organizing papers into a filing system.

Tax filers submit returns to the IRS.

In an office, the filer might be the person who maintains records.

A filer can also be a tool for filing, though "file" alone is more common for the implement.
