IRS short of 20 million income tax returns with deadline near
The IRS says about 20 million returns are pending five days before the April 15 deadline. Mistakes were common among early filers due to the 1976 Tax Reform Act, with 9.5 percent error on 31 million 1040 forms and 13.6 percent on 23.1 million 1040A forms. Officials suggest letting the IRS compute taxes to cut errors and delay in issuing bills. Short forms can be calculated if earnings and taxes paid are reported, addressing common issues in standard deduction and general tax credit.
