Hardin speaks in millions when talking about tax returns.
“Since we opened filing season January 29, taxpayers have received approximately $262 million in refunds,” Hardin said. “Based on the 1.4 million returns processed in 2023, we know we are more than halfway there with 798,223 refunds processed to date this year. The next two weeks will be a busy time for both DFA and taxpayers as we approach April 15.”
