More Last Minute Filers E-file

According to IRS data, as the tax deadline approaches more and more last minute filers are choosing to e-file. Historically more people e-file at the beginning of tax season, and typically those people are expecting a refund and want to get it fast. Late filers traditionally owe the government money and have more often used paper tax returns. But new statistics are showing that many taxpayers are choosing to pay electronically through credit card or direct debit. According to the IRS nearly 57 million returns have already been e-filed this year. Nearly one-third of those returns were e-filed during March alone, up more than 10 percent over last March.
