New for 2021 but 2022 will be your nightmare!

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has changed much. You need to go to www.irs.gov

 

Before I go into the changes I want to say something about these changes. Theses changes seemed to be designed to drive away self prepared or free internet access type returns. We know that most mistakes are made by the free internet return and costs the IRS a tremendous amount of money to fix. The free software by default causes errors as it does not explain who can take and who is not entitled to take, so again the mistake are made. I look at the changes and realize most people including the inexperienced tax preparer have no clue how to handle them and for many, expensive mistakes will be made.  We truly believe the average California mistake will cost between $900-$1500

Tax Relief in Disaster Situations

The IRS often updates its information on disaster relief efforts. For the latest news, see the IRS disaster relief page frequently.

Where's My Refund?

Taxpayers who filed their tax returns should know that the easiest way to check on their tax refund is to use "Where’s My Refund?" This tool is available on IRS.gov and through the IRS2Go app. The fastest way to get that tax refund is to use IRS e-file and direct deposit.

Taxpayers can use Where’s My Refund? to start checking on the status of their tax return within 24 hours after the IRS receives an e-filed return. For a paper return, it’s four weeks after the taxpayer mailed it.

Tax Withholding

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the way tax is calculated. The IRS encourages taxpayers to perform a quick “paycheck checkup” by using the Withholding Calculator to check if they have the right amount of withholding for their personal situation.

Is it Really the IRS Calling?

The IRS wants you to understand how and when we contact taxpayers and help you determine whether a contact you may have received is truly from an IRS employee.

The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the United States Postal Service.

However, there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during criminal investigations.
