Mass. taxpayers file early, on the computer
By Matthew L. Brown
Record numbers of Massachusetts taxpayers are filing their tax returns electronically, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
"We encourage people to consider e-file and Free File as the tax deadline approaches," said Mark W. Everson, IRS commissioner. "E-file reduces taxpayer errors and gets refunds back quickly."
According to the IRS, in Massachusetts, self-prepared electronically filed returns have increased more than six percent compared to last year.
E-filed returns prepared by tax professionals have increased by more than five percent, the IRS said.
So far, 71 percent of all Massachusetts tax returns have been filed electronically. As of Friday, 30 percent of those had been filed from home.
