Tax filing season began on January 23, and the deadline for taxpayers is April 18 of this year. However, victims of natural disasters and taxpayers residing abroad have the opportunity to file later, and in the case of victims of the storms in California, they have until May 15.
Tax season is here, and with it come refunds. Here's what you need to know about the IRS.
Kevin Moorehead, deputy commissioner of the IRS Wage and Investment Division, at a press conference organized by Ethnic Media Services, called on the population to file their tax returns as soon as possible and electronically, in addition to requesting that refunds be transferred directly to the taxpayers' bank accounts, since in this way the response time will be shorter.
And the response times have been reduced considerably, since the Inflation Reduction Law recently allocated 80 billion dollars to hire at least 5 thousand telephone assistants and add Taxpayer Assistance Centers throughout the country so that there is greater support for taxpayers to file their tax returns.
Moorehead also said that with these tools, more than 168 million individual tax returns are expected, while as of February 3, 8 million refunds have already been issued, indicating that the level of response in relation to tax returns will be higher than last year.
