data for the week ending april 21, the week in which the filing deadline fell, was just released and it paints the same picture we\u2019ve seen since january: overall returns and e-filings down, with refunds the only scant positives.
\n<\/p>\n

the irs had received 135.6 million returns, down 0.7 percent from 2016. it had processed 128.8 million, down 0.5 percent. that pegs the processing rate at 95 percent, with last-minute filers likely slowing the agency\u2019s 97-plus percent rate it had kept the previous month and a half.<\/p>\n

for the curious, the number of returns filed in the same period in 2015 totaled 134.2 million, so we\u2019re 1 percent ahead of that mark.<\/p>\n

e-filings totaled 122.2 million, down 0.3 percent. tax professionals handled 70.4 million of those, down 0.7 percent, while self-preparers filed 51.8 million, up 0.2 percent, the only positive in filings.<\/p>\n

for the season, pros handled 57.6 percent of e-filings, a slight drop back from the previous week\u2019s season high of 58.4 percent.<\/p>\n

visits to irs.gov, at 312.3 million, were down 4.1 percent.<\/p>\n

total refunds at 97.1 million were statistically flat, differing by only about 25,000 more in 2017. the total amount refunded was $268.3 billion and the average refund was $2,763, both figures up 1.9 percent from the same period in 2016.<\/p>\n

there were 81.7 million direct deposit refunds, up 0.5 percent. the total amount refunded was $239.4 billion, up 2.2 percent, and the average refund of $2,932 was up 1.7 percent.<\/p>\n
