Press Release

INDIANAPOLIS — Tax return e-filing for this year ended Oct. 15 and Indiana taxpayers e-filed a record 2.2 million federal income tax returns during 2009, up 6% from last year’s total of 2.1 million.

With a projected 3 million paper and electronic returns to be filed by Indiana taxpayers by the end of the year, 74 percent of tax filers in the state chose electronic filing over paper.

“Each year more Indiana taxpayers e-file their return,” said IRS spokeswoman Jodie Reynolds. “It's fast, easy, secure and for most filers it's available at no cost."

Nationwide, a record 95 million returns, over 67 percent of the total returns filed, were e-filed in 2009.

Taxpayers who e-file from a home computer continue to be an increasingly significant segment of those who e-file. More than 761,000 Indiana taxpayers filed from home computers in 2009.

More than 3 million taxpayers nationwide filed their tax returns for free through the IRS Free File program. This year for the first time, taxpayers could also file directly to the IRS by completing a fill-in Form 1040 online at IRS.gov; 273,000 taxpayers used this new way to file.
