This is consistent with what I have heard. I read that the IRS picks returns out as they come in and by the time they get to early April they have pretty much maxed-out the returns that they can handle in a year. So filing in the last week also decreases your chances. That said, if yours comes in with some big red flag deduction they are probably not going to ignore it -- plus the automated checks that they do (comparing w2's, 1099's, etc).
