we’re three weeks into tax filing season,\u00a0 the data from the irs remains mostly glum, and tax professionals are facing clients angry and confused by their smaller-than-expected refunds.<\/p>\n

for the week ending feb. 15, the most recent statistics available, the only figure on the plus side is the one accountants least want to see \u2013 individual income tax returns filed by self-preparers. boo! let’s tell ourselves they would have been the least profitable clients.
\n
\nthe internal revenue service reported receiving 39.8 million individual returns as of feb. 15, down 4.8 percent from the same period one year ago. it had processed 37.8 million of those returns, down 6.6 percent. the agency’s current processing rate is 95 percent.<\/p>\n

e-filings<\/strong><\/p>\n

of total returns, 96.5 percent are e-filed. the total so far is 38.4 million, down 3.8 percent. of those, tax professionals have handled 16.6 million, down 8.5 percent, with self-preparers turning in 21.8 million, up 0.1 percent.<\/p>\n

tax pros have processed 43.2 percent of this year’s e-filings.<\/p>\n

website visits<\/strong><\/p>\n

visits to irs.gov, pretty much the only way to get anything out of the agency anymore, stood at 161.7 million, down 3.3 percent.<\/p>\n

refunds<\/strong><\/p>\n

refunds totaled 23.5 million, down 26.5 percent, in the amount of $62 billion, which is down $38.8 billion. blame some of that on the average refund falling 16.7 percent to $2,640.<\/p>\n

direct deposit plays a huge role: 94.3 percent of total refunds and 96.5 percent of the total amount. direct deposit refunds have totaled 22.1 million, down 26.3 percent. the total amount refunded electronically was $59.9 billion, down 38.8 percent, with the average refund down 17 percent at $2,703.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
