Iowans are filing taxes electronically in large numbers

March 17, 2003 By admin

About seven in every ten Iowans who have filed their state tax returns so far have done so electronically. David Kemnitz , a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance, says the numbers are tallied every week. As of March 14th, there have been about 215-thousand paper returns filed and more than 487-thousand returns filed electronically — or nearly 70-percent. That’s tracking about ten-percent ahead of last year as Kemnitz says more Iowans are going the electronic route, for many reasons. Kemnitz says people who e-file can get their returns processed more quickly and get their refund checks back faster too. Kemnitz says paper filing offers many opportunities for error — and errors delay returns and refund checks. The Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance website offers links to approved companies and a list of preparers and businesses that transmit returns electronically — surf to “www.state.ia.us/tax” for details.
