The IRS is advising people to complete their personal income tax forms and estimate their possible refund amounts as tax season draws near.
With the tax filing deadline on the horizon, it is essential for individuals and businesses to stay informed about the latest updates and guidelines to ensure a smooth filing process.
Utilizing IRS Electronic Tax Filing Options
Taxpayers are encouraged to gather all necessary documentation, including W-2s, 1099s, and other income statements, as well as any relevant deductions and credits that can maximize their potential refunds.
Additionally, it’s important to verify personal information such as social security numbers, as any errors could delay the processing of the tax return.
The IRS offers various electronic filing options, including Free File for eligible taxpayers, providing a secure and convenient way to submit returns online. E-filing not only expedites the processing of tax returns but also ensures accuracy and minimizes the risk of errors compared to paper filing.

Consulting Professionals and Tax Software
For those expecting a refund, utilizing direct deposit is highly recommended as it allows for quicker access to funds. Taxpayers can track the status of their refund using the Where’s My Refund? tool on the IRS website or the IRS2Go mobile app.
It’s essential to be aware of any changes in tax laws and regulations for the current tax year, as they may impact the calculation of tax liability and potential refunds.
Taxpayers are encouraged to consult with tax professionals or utilize tax preparation software to ensure compliance with the latest tax laws and to explore available deductions and credits.
The IRS also urges taxpayers to file their returns on time, or if needed, request an extension to avoid penalties and interest. Filing an extension grants additional time to complete the return but does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed.
As tax season progresses, staying informed and organized will contribute to a successful and stress-free filing experience. Take advantage of the available resources and technology to streamline the process and maximize your potential tax refund.
