WASHINGTON (AP) - The IRS says that so far this year, one out of every four tax returns has come from someone filing from a home computer.
The IRS said Monday that it has received some 47 million returns, as of the week ending Feb. 22. Of those, 38 million were filed electronically, up 5 percent from the 2007 filing season. Tax professionals were responsible for almost 26 million e-files, up slightly from last year, while self-prepared returns filed elctronically jumped almost 14 percent to 12.3 million.
The tax agency said that more than 39 million returns qualified for a refund, for a total of nearly $107 billion. The average refund was just over $2,700, up 2 percent from last year.
