average time to do taxes
And that average for 1040 forms is really driven up by business filers (which can include anyone filing a Schedule C, E or F with their 1040 form). Business filers spend an average of 23 hours, compared to the 70 percent of taxpayers who are non-business filers. For just non-business filers, the average time drops to a mere eight hours. Thatâs the problem with averages.
