IRS delays the start of tax season!

Yes it's true...the IRS will not accept e-filed returns until January 30th. But that's no reason to wait to gather your tax documents.

You will begin to receive tax documents; W-2s, 1099s, 1098s, etc soon so watch for them in your mail. Get a large envelope, file folder or shoebox (pun intended) to store all your documents. That way when you are ready to have your return prepared everything will be in one place.

The delay will mean that your tax preparer will be overwhelmed and inundated with work in the months ahead leading up to April 15th. The easier you make the job for them...the faster you will get your return prepared.

If you need help or have questions about filing please email me at Questions@TheTaxDiva.com.

Happy Tax Season!!!
