Taxpayers who file electronically and choose Direct Deposit receive refunds in about two weeks. Those who prefer a check by mail receive it in about three weeks. This is much faster than the six to eight weeks it normally takes to get a refund check when you file a paper tax return, according to an IRS spokesman.
Electronically filed returns also have fewer errors. The error rate for electronic returns is about three percent versus 16 percent for returns filed on paper.
More than 4.1 million taxpayers filed electronically in 1990 — 120,500 of which were filed from Virginia, which is ranked ninth of all IRS Districts in the nation. More than 550 tax return preparers are actively participating in this program from Virginia.
For more information about becoming a participant in the electronic filing program, contact the IRS to register for a seminar. In Richmond, call (804) 649-2361. Elsewhere in Virginia, call toll-free (800) 424-1040.
