It looks like the folks at the IRS may not have to burn the midnight oil this tax processing season. The National Retail Federation reports that 61.2 percent of Americans have already filed their tax returns or intend to file them by tomorrow. Only about 15 percent of respondents to a survey said they would wait until April to file. Apparently most people are anticipating a refund, and they want it now.

Yup, we filed on aboout Jan 16th...got the refunds from the fed about 4 days later and state a couple days after that. Why wait? Most I've ever waited for the big refunds is 5 business days.
