*Extension filers: IRS.gov is the source for summertime tax help; agency encourages people to file soon*
?
WASHINGTON ? With millions of people still waiting to file their tax returns, the IRS reminds them to file as soon as possible and take advantage of special tools available on IRS.gov that can help them file.
Summer may be a busy time for many, but it?s a great time to start tax planning - whether you still need to file a 2021 tax return or start planning for next year?s tax season. IRS.gov [ [link removed] ] is the fastest and most convenient way to get tax-related information and help. The online tools are available any time, so taxpayers can use them at their convenience.
Here are some important reasons for taxpayers to visit IRS.gov this summer.
*Get tax information 24/7*
Taxpayers can use IRS.gov to:
* View the filing page [ [link removed] ] to get information on most federal income tax topics.
* Access the Interactive Tax Assistant [ [link removed] ] tool for answers to many tax law questions.
* Sign into their individual IRS online account [ [link removed] ] to view their balance an tax records, manage communication preferences, make payments and more.?
* Find the most up-to-date information about their tax refunds using the Where's My Refund? [ [link removed] ] tool. Taxpayers can check the status of their refund 24 hours after the IRS acknowledges receipt of an e-filed return.
Taxpayers can also download the official IRS mobile app, IRS2Go [ [link removed] ], to check their refund status, make payments, find free tax preparation assistance, sign up for helpful tax tips and more.
*Adjust withholding now to avoid tax surprises next year*
Summer is a great time for taxpayers to check their withholding to avoid a tax surprise next filing season. Life events like marriage, divorce, having a child or a change in income can affect taxes.
The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator [ [link removed] ] on IRS.gov helps employees assess their income tax, credits, adjustments and deductions, and determine whether they need to change their withholding. If a change is recommended, the estimator will provide instructions to update their withholding with their employer either online or by submitting a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate [ [link removed] ].
*File electronically*
Taxpayers [ [link removed] ] who requested an extension to Oct. 17 or missed the April 18 deadline can still prepare and e-file returns for free with IRS Free File [ [link removed] ], if they qualify. The IRS accepts electronically filed returns [ [link removed] ] 24/7. There?s no reason to wait until Oct. 17 if filers have all the information and documentation they need to file an accurate return today. They can get their refund faster by choosing direct deposit [ [link removed] ].
Taxpayers who missed the April 18 deadline and owe should file and pay electronically as soon as possible to reduce penalties and interest. Taxpayers can make payments or set up payment plans online at IRS.gov/payments [ [link removed] ].
