Of the 155 million tax returns filed, about 58 percent were filed electronically. “More people with home computers and businesses embraced electronic filing this year," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. “Every year, more people realize that electronic filing is the safe, accurate way for taxpayers to complete their taxes and get faster refunds.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
