In the first release of tax filing statistics for this year, the Internal Revenue Service announced on Tuesday that electronically filed returns have increased, led by a big increase in home computer use.
Through early March, more than 39.5 million taxpayers have e-filed this year. Home computer use is up 16.5 percent, with e-filing by tax professionals up nearly 4 percent, according to the IRS.
Out of 54 million tax returns filed so far this year, e-filing represents 73 percent of the total returns.
“The home computer is increasingly replacing the paper tax form,” observed IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson, continuing: “Both individual taxpayers and tax professionals are turning to e-file more and more because it’s fast and accurate.”
