How to avoid delays when filing your tax return
Both the IRS and taxpayers sometimes face challenges in filing and processing federal income tax returns. Here are some tips to avoid delays when filing taxes. Collect all documents before filing. You don’t need to accidentally miss a form! Before you file, make sure you have all your W-2s and Form 1099s. Incorrect information could lead to costly delays and you may miss out on valuable credits.
2. E-file your return and use direct deposit to prevent refund delays.
Filing paper returns by mail is more tedious for both parties. If you’re looking to get your return processed quickly this tax season, e-filing may be the best option. These two steps combined will ensure that your tax return is processed quickly and you receive your refund. Find answers to your tax questions online. Calling the IRS can often result in long phone delays. If you prefer to do your own research on your tax situation, you can search our
