Treasury Issues Warning Going into Tax Season

Treasury Department officials took the preemptive step on Monday of warning taxpayers that the upcoming tax season, which begins on January 24 and will run through April 18, will be messy and could see delays.

Pointing to staffing shortages and paperwork backlogs, officials said taxpayers will likely face frustrations similar to those of last year’s tax season. Potential problem areas include delays in the processing of refunds and returns as well as difficulty in reaching IRS.

As of mid-November 2021, the IRS had a backlog of roughly 8.6 million returns left to process. In a separate statement, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said IRS is not able to provide the level of service taxpayers deserve and said that more resources for the agency are essential.

FYI on Taxes: You will need to know how much you received for the Economic Impact Payments (EIP), a.k.a. "Stimulus" for your tax return. When the first EIP was provided to taxpayers, there was an IRS Notice 1444, which had Trump's signature on it. The 2nd EIP was provided starting in late December 2020 and continued into 2021. Notice 1444-B was for EIP #2, which is still being sent out. Let me know if you need a tax professional to do your taxes. Email: [email protected] or Phone: 651-321-8166. If you don't have the record of the amount(s) received, you can go to the IRS site and click the "Get My Payment" button:
