IRS Says It Has Processed 13 Million Tax Returns

Additional workers are helping process returns after the agency experienced historically low staffing levels during the pandemic.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the agency has processed 13 million tax returns so far this year.

The federal agency says it received nearly 17 million returns as of Feb. 4, but that's on top of the backlog of 2020 returns the IRS still needs to process.
