Good afternoon,
With the April 15th due date  only 3 weeks away,  we wanted to share some season to date information with you:

•         As of earlier today, we had downloaded 676, 675 returns from the IRS.  That volume is  5.5% ahead of the same calendar date for last    season.
•         As of  April 15, 2008, we had downloaded 91% of our e-filed PIT returns for  all of tax year 2007.
•         April 2009 should see a significant increase in our daily volume, with the week leading up to the due date being particularly busy.
•         Last year we received a 2 day total of over 90,000 returns on April 14th and 15th. With that level of volume, you may see a slight delay in the         receipt         of your Oregon acknowledgements.
•         Some of your software providers have issued maintenance releases over the course of the season.  We hope that you have kept your        packages current by adopting those updates.

Thank you,
