More Rhode Islanders filed tax returns electronically

The Internal Revenue Service says that about 301,000 federal income-tax returns have been filed electronically from Rhode Island so far this year, up from about 265,000 at the same point last year, an increase of about 14 percent.

The number of e-filed returns from Rhode Island includes about 226,000 from tax preparers and about 75,000 from taxpayers themselves, the IRS said.

Overall, about 58 percent of federal returns from Rhode Island were filed electronically; the rest -- about 218,000 returns -- were filed on paper, the IRS said.

The IRS also says that e-filing is up nationwide.
