IRS: Paper Returns Down to 9 Percent

IRS againThe Internal Revenue Service said this week that the number of efiled returns continues to grow as a percentage of all tax returns. About 91 percent of returns this year have been efiled with about 9 percent submitted on paper, and it expects the final number of paper returns will be down 7 percent from last year's total.

Through March 28, the IRS said it had received 82 million efiled returns and 8.3 paper return. It expects the season total for paper will be 23 million returns, compared to 25 million for the 2013 tax season.

Meanwhile, the totals through March 28 continue to show fewer professionally prepared returns have been filed, compared to last year, although the gap has narrowed. There have been 48.8 million professionally efiled returns this year, compared to 49.2 million through March 29, 2103. There have been 33.7 million self-prepared returns efiled, an increase at 5.9 percent over 31.8 million a year ago.

The total number of returns filed this year is up only slightly over the 2013 totals. For the period reported, there have been 90.8 million received, an increase of six-tenths of one percent over 90.2 million a year ago.
