Planning for the nation’s filing season is a huge undertaking and IRS teams have been working to prepare. This year, they have been hiring additional staff to help taxpayers in person, an to fill customer representative positions.

The IRS usually starts accepting tax returns in late January. That gives taxpayers nearly three months to gather income statements, fill out a return, and pay outstanding taxes.
According to IRS officials, to avoid delays and snags, it’s important that the numbers on the return are correct and filled out completely.
Also, filing electronically with direct deposit is the best way to avoid delays, and speed up your refund.
It is important for taxpayers to be aware of the deadlines for filing their tax returns, as failure to file a tax return or pay taxes owed by the deadline can result in penalties and interest charges. The IRS also offers extensions of time to file for certain taxpayers who are unable to meet the regular filing deadline.
