Record Number of Pennsylvanians Filed State Income Taxes Electronically
Friday, May 16, 2008
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 3.2 million taxpayers, or about 55 percent of all individual taxpayers, filed 2007 state personal income tax returns electronically this year, setting an all-time record for electronic filing.
"At the beginning of April, Revenue reached a milestone by processing its 20 millionth electronic return since e-filing became available in 1996," said Secretary of Revenue Tom Wolf, who noted that the state has received 7 percent more tax returns electronically so far this year compared to the total number of returns filed last year. "More and more taxpayers are taking advantage of electronic filing options, which are the most cost-effective and advantage-rich options for filing tax returns,"
Taxpayers who file electronically may have refunds deposited directly into bank accounts, or they can pay balances due electronically. This year, more than 619,500 taxpayers chose to directly deposit refunds; more than 235,300 paid taxes using the ACH debit/credit option; and more than 24,300 paid taxes by credit card.
The department's Web site, www.revenue.state.pa.us, continues to be a popular source for tax information, as more than 188 million hits were recorded this tax season. The site allows taxpayers to download forms, receive answers to commonly asked questions through the online customer service center and file state income tax returns electronically for free.
