Alright ladies and gentlemen, tax season is upon us but there are a few things you should know. The IRS will begin accepting tax returns January 24th. Refunds are expected within 21 days of e-filing with the exception of taxpayers who have children and are subject to receive the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and/or Earned Income Credit (EIC). Those taxpayers will not receive refunds until after mid February. In addition, those who qualify for the CTC will receive letters from the IRS (6419) which will identify the amount of the advanced CTC payments received in 2021. If you have qualifying children, you MUST submit a copy of this letter with your tax prep documents to your tax preparer (even if you optes out and didn't receive payments). Should you choose to file on your own, be SURE to include the information from this letter on your tax return to recieve the rest of your refund and/or avoid penalties and interest later on for entering the incorrect amount. As always, if you have any specific questions, I am happy to help.
