By now you should have received the necessary documents from your employer to file your 2023 taxes. Make sure to collect all of the necessary documents needed for an accurate return before starting your tax return.

Important IRS Information

The 2024 tax season has opened, and the IRS is accepting and processing federal individual tax returns.

With the start of the 2024 filing season, the IRS will be extending hours of service in nearly 250 Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) across the country. The extended office hours will run through Tuesday, April 16. To see if a nearby TAC is offering extended hours, taxpayers can visit Contact your local office to access the IRS.gov TAC Locator tool.

The “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov will add more details for taxpayers checking on the status of their tax refund, including clearer and more detailed information such as whether the IRS needs them to respond to a letter requesting additional information.

Taxpayers can visit IRS.gov 24 hours a day to get answers to tax questions. IRS.gov is the quickest and easiest option to get help. The Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA) is a tool that provides answers to several tax law questions specific to individual circumstances.

Additional Information

Tax Relief for Americans

This week, I supported the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, which passed through the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. This bill includes pro-growth policies, tax reform, allows employers to grow, promotes American competitiveness against China by encouraging business investment in U.S. companies, and provides tax relief to Americans struggling with the high cost of living. The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate before it can be signed into law by President Biden.
