If returns continue to come in slowly there will be a huge jam at the April 15 deadline. That means refunds will be delayed for many people.’ Flournoy said 71,000 refunds can be issued each working daythrough fullest coordination and use of the highly mechanized procedures in his office and in the Franchise Tax Board. “But only recently have there been enough returns to sustain ' maximum production,” the Controller said. ‘‘If returns continue to lag until the usual rush of late filings it can only mean delay for many refunds.”’ Flournoy said the Franchise Tax Board, of which he is chairman, has been completing work on individual returns in about 10 days from time of receipt. He said this schedule cannot be maintained when a large backlog develops. _The Controller said that in addition to filing as early as possible, taxpayers could help speed their refunds by completing returns accurately, including correct social security numbers, signing returns properly, and using the preaddressed labels sent with their tax information booklets.
