IRS Launches Resource Page on IRS.gov for Taxpayers During Filing Season
The IRS recently launched a special new page on IRS.gov to provide the latest details and information affecting the 2022 tax filing season and ongoing efforts by the agency to address the inventory of previously filed tax returns.
During this tax season, taxpayers face a number of issues due to critical tax law changes that took place in 2021 and ongoing challenges related to the pandemic. To raise awareness about these issues and provide people with the latest timely information, the IRS has created a special tax season web page. This page will provide people with a quick overview of information to help people filing tax returns as well as those who have previous year tax returns awaiting processing by the IRS.
The page also includes links to important information related to ongoing efforts by the IRS to address the inventory of unprocessed tax returns filed before this year. This includes steps to stop more than a dozen common letters to taxpayers and updates on IRS operations and the number of unprocessed tax returns.
The IRS began tax season on Jan. 24, and in less than two weeks more than 4 million tax refunds have gone out worth nearly $10 billon. The IRS continues to urge taxpayers to carefully review their tax filings for accuracy and file electronically with direct deposit to speed refunds.
