File Early GREENSBORO - Tax payers who file their returns in January or early February can expect any re fund due in four to five weeks or roughly half the time late filers will have to wait, Robert A. LeBaube, IRS District Director for North Carolina said. Individuals who delay fil ing until late March or April the peak filing time may have to wait for their ' refunds as long as 10 weeks. Another advantage to fil ing early, according to the district director, is avoidance of careless errors often made by last minute filers who are rushed. These errors which frequently involve incorrect arithmetic, use of the wrong tax table, or failure to sign the return can further delay processing of the return as well as the refund check. ' ' -1 ' Last year, 1.5 million tax payers in North Carolina received refunds, amoun--ting to $468 Million. , .
