By Laura Davison and Naomi JagodaThe US tax filing season will begin Jan. 23 and run through April 18 with, perhaps, less frustration for both taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service than in recent years.
This year, however, should be a better experience for taxpayers, with the IRS receiving additional funding, adding 5,000 customer service representatives, and reducing a large backlog of tax returns that had slowed down the agency. “This filing season is the first to benefit the IRS and our nation’s tax system from multi-year funding in the Inflation Reduction Act,” Acting IRS Commissioner Doug O’Donnell said in a statement. “We’ve trained thousands of new employees to answer phones and help people. While much work remains after several difficult years, we expect people to experience improvements this tax season.”
This year is a return to relative normal for the IRS and taxpayers alike. Most of the coronavirus pandemic aid — including stimulus payments, larger child tax credits, and business stimulus — that was administered through the tax code has expired.
