Instead of accepting e-file taxes on January 22 as planned, the IRS announced today they will not accept any 2012 tax returns until January 30, 2013.

Paper filers won't be able to get a jump on processing, either -- the IRS won't begin looking at those until the end of the month as well.

ReplyDeletelol wryknow for some reason every time its tax season an appliance decided to break on us 4 years ago it was my tv, 3 years ago it was the ac/heater unit and it needed to be replaced, 2 years ago it was a washer, last year the microwave now this year my dryer, and laptop.
ReplyDeleteJenna - I already have to replace my vacuum! That was a known. But as soon as I finished the 1040, I started losing port access on the PC and the battery on my motherboard died. Arg.
ReplyDeleteEven worse, according to the IRS posting (in link above), those who file 1040 to claim the mortgage interest credit will have to wait until late Feb/early March to file this year. Wow!:-( Thanks, Jennifer, for the heads-up. Definitely good to know.
