To find out the average processing time per EZ tax form, we need to divide the total number of EZ tax forms on hand by the number of forms that can be processed per day.

Total number of EZ tax forms on hand = 64
EZ tax forms processed per day = 20

Therefore, average processing time per form = Total forms on hand / EZ tax forms processed per day
= 64 / 20
= 3.2 days

Since the average processing time is more than 3 and less than or equal to 4 days, the answer is choice B.
