IRS Tax Filing Season Will Be Delayed In 2021
If you are one of the millions of Americans who count on your tax return for necessities (especially, if you have not yet received your second stimulus payment), it looks like you are going to need to wait a little while longer than normal to get that return.
According to WMTW, issues caused by the pandemic and the need to get those stimulus payments out as quick as possible has caused the IRS to delay the start of tax season.
Normally, tax season starts the second half of January. This year, it won t begin until February 12th.
If you did not receive your $600 federal stimulus check by January 5th, you're probably going to have to wait until you file your 2020 income tax return.
