个人报税季节将于1月24日开始

The 美国国税局 (IRS) has announced that the nation’s individual 税 filing season will officially begin when the agency starts accepting and processing 2021 税 returns on January 24, 2022.

为避免处理延误, the IRS encourages 税payers to have all the information they’ll need in hand in order to ensure a complete and accurate return is filed.  This is especially important for those who have received Child 税 Credit advances and Economic Impact (stimulus) payments in 2021.  为了协助这个, 国税局会发出6419号信函, 2021年提前儿童税收抵免, 和字母6475, 您的第三次经济影响付款, to individuals who received either or both of these payments.  The letters will provide 税payers with important information, 包括已支付的款项, that will need to be reported on their 税 returns.  For a quicker option, 税payers can check amounts received by using the 儿童税收抵免门户网站 或其 美国国税局网上帐户.

另外, the IRS is urging 税payers to file returns electronically and with direct deposit information for the quickest processing of returns and refunds. 

The filing deadline to 提交 2021 税 returns or an extension of time to file is April 18, 2022年对大多数纳税人来说.  税payers requesting an extension will have until October 17 to file, though any 税 due must be paid by April 18 to avoid late payment penalties.  This filing deadline is currently not expected to be delayed as it has been for the prior two 税 filing seasons.

The above announcements come on the heels of what National 税payer Advocate Erin M. Collins is calling “the most challenging year 税payers and 税 professionals have ever experienced.”  Lengthy delays by the IRS in processing 税 returns and 税payer correspondence, 电话援助超负荷, and shortcomings in new online tools all combined to make 2021 a historic ordeal.  截至2021年12月下旬, the IRS was still processing a backlog of 6 million original paper-filed returns, 2.300万份经修订申报表, 200万表格941和941X, 纳税人函件500万件.  

Still waiting on processing of a prior-year 税 return? The IRS is advising that you do not need to wait for processing to be completed before filing your 2021 return.
