IRS Has Announced Dates for Accepting 2017 Tax Returns

The IRS has announced it will begin accepting tax returns on Monday, January 292018. The PATH act of 2015 is still in place which means returns with refunds from the Earned Income Credit & the Additional Child Tax Credit will not be released until mid-February or later. Changes for recently passed legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, will actually take effect with the 2018 returns which are filed in 2019, however, new withholding tables for 2018 are supposed to reflect these upcoming changes without most taxpayers needing to adjust their W-4s per the IRS .

Every tax season brings new misinformation amidst tax law changes. The best place to receive accurate information is with a Tax Professional, rather than your neighbor, co-worker, friend, or family member. Heather Worrell, Enrolled Agent and owner of A Tax Haven, has been an active tax professional in the tax industry since 1988. She is also an Endorsed Local Tax Provider (ELP) for financial expert, Dave Ramsey, and has studied and still uses many of his financial principles. She invites you to visit her webpage, www.ataxhaven.com, for posts concerning financial and tax issues.

A Tax Haven is now providing Advance Loans of up to $2500 for those who qualify and choose that option. We strive to keep our fees reasonable. To someone who normally goes to the “tax chains”, we invite them to make an appointment and experience the pleasant difference in services and fees that we provide. A Tax Haven reminds taxpayers that computer software is only as knowledgeable as the one who inputs the information, and we have had to correct many costly mistakes when taxpayers have chosen to file their own returns online. Our goal is to assist our clients in receiving every deduction they are eligible for, to educate them on proper tax record keeping, and to help them keep as much of their hard-earned money in their own pockets as possible.

January 30th – IRS Will Begin Accepting Returns

The IRS announced on January 8th, 2013, that the official date for the IRS to begin processing 2012 individual income tax returns will be January 30, 2013. The last minute tax law changes enacted on January 2, 2013, by Congress have caused this delay. The IRS is now scrambling to update forms and processing systems to reflect those changes.

Most taxpayers will be able to file at that time, but some taxpayers with certain deductions will be delayed even further into February or March. These deductions may include residential energy credits, certain depreciations, or general business credits.

“We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible,” IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said. “This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems.”

The IRS will not process paper tax returns before the anticipated Jan. 30 opening date. There is no advantage to filing on paper before the opening date, and taxpayers will receive their tax refunds much faster by using e-file with direct deposit.

A Tax Haven is available to prepare your return now so it will be ready to file as soon as the IRS begins accepting returns.
