Across the nation, during the last full tax season, 65,000 IRS-certified volunteers provided this service at more than 9,000 sites. Some three and a half million taxpayer returns were prepared and filed via this service throughout the country. In Connecticut 52,000 federal returns were processed, in addition to an equal number of state returns and many amended filings from prior years. Over 1,700 of these were filed at area libraries and at Norwalk City Hall, with $2 million in federal refunds being returned, 53% of which were from tax credits such as for earned income and education.
