IRS Will Start Accepting Tax Returns Today
Tax season is officially here. Starting today, Monday, January 23, the IRS will start accepting 2022 tax returns and begin issuing refunds. I do not even know why, but I am the one who usually calls my tax guy at the last minute, in a panic of course, telling him that I need to drop my paperwork off. I am hoping this year that I can be different and actually be a little ahead of the tax game this year! Getting all the year end statements for me just seems like such a chore! This year’s deadline to file is Tuesday, April 18th – giving procrastinators a few extra days due to April 15th falling on a Saturday this year.
Hoping to get your refund quickly? Better file online – people who file electronically with direct deposit can expect their refund within 21 days. Paper returns could take much longer, with the IRS already sitting on a massive backlog.Your refund might be smaller this year, with several pandemic-era tax breaks coming to an end.
