More people choose to e-file taxes in the U.S.

Based on lines — or lack thereof — at the U.S. Post offices on last Monday, you wouldn’t know today it was Tax Day.

All tax returns must be postmarked by midnight in the U.S., but the downtown post office on Monday had few people mailing their taxes.

But if the recent past is any indication, more taxpayers are likely e-filing rather than rushing to the post office at the last minute to mail their returns.

According to the Internal Revenue Service 80 million people filed their taxes electronically in 2007.

The U.S. Postal Service credits the shorter lines to more people e-filing.

Al DeSarro, USPS spokesman for the Western region, said the postal service is cutting back on extended hours today because more people are e-filing.

The main post offices in Fort Collins and Loveland, however, will collect taxes until midnight.

Local tax preparers report that e-filers who also choose to have their refunds deposited directly into their checking accounts, can expect to receive refunds in less than two weeks.
