The IRS will continue some operations, but it appears that many aspects will be negatively affected by the lack of Congress to come to a budget agreement.

The tax agency has furloughed nearly half of its workforce as the government shutdown persists.

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund by February 27 if:

You file your return online
You choose to get your refund by direct deposit
We found no issues with your return
However, some taxpayers may see their refunds a few days earlier. Check Where’s My Refund for your personalized refund date. Where's My Refund should show an updated status by February 17 for most early EITC/ACTC filers.

Additionally, your financial institution may need time to accept your direct deposit or issue a debit card. Many institutions don’t process payments on weekends or holidays. So, if you file early, be aware of federal and local holidays that may affect how soon you get your refund.

Hello,

I just wanted to post this notice so that all my clients, family & friends will be aware of the new filing & refund releasing information is available.

2024 tax filing season set for January 29 as the start date for returns to be accepted. Most refunds will be issued in less than 21 days; EITC refunds for many available starting February 27
Many different factors can affect the timing of a refund after the IRS receives a return. Although the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, the IRS cautions taxpayers not to rely on receiving a refund by a certain date, especially when making major purchases or paying bills. Some returns may require additional review and may take longer. The easiest way to check a refund's status is by using Where's My Refund? on IRS.gov or the IRS2Go app.

Under the federal Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) refunds before mid-February. Where's My Refund? should show an updated status by February 17 for most early EITC/ACTC filers. The IRS expects most EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by February 27 if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

FinCEN Extends Deadline for Companies Created or Registered in 2024 to File Beneficial Ownership Information Reports

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is extending the deadline for certain reporting companies to file their initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports. Specifically, reporting companies created or registered in 2024 will have 90 calendar days from the date of receiving actual or public notice of their creation or registration becoming effective to file their initial reports.

This extension will give reporting companies created or registered in 2024 more time to become familiar with FinCEN’s guidance and educational materials located at https://www.fincen.gov/boi, and to resolve questions that may arise in the process of completing their initial BOI reports.

Reporting companies created or registered before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, to file their initial BOI reports with FinCEN, while reporting companies created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 calendar days to file their initial BOI reports after receiving actual or public notice of their creation or registration becoming effective.

FinCEN will not accept BOI reports from reporting companies until January 1, 2024 — no reports should be submitted to FinCEN before that date.
