IRS

If you haven't received your third stimulus check yet, you should consider filing as soon as possible. 

This IRS this week delayed the main April 15 tax-filing deadline until May 17, giving most Americans more time to prepare their filings this tax season amid a slew of pandemic-related policy changes.

The IRS on Thursday sought to assuage potential concerns about this year’s filing season data, which appears to show that tax season is off to a slow start.

The IRS announced on Wednesday that it will automatically extend the tax filing date about one month this year, but that does not affect state deadlines.

The IRS may have decided to heed the pleas of lawmakers and advocacy groups who have been urging the tax agency to postpone this year’s April 15 filing deadline.

Advocacy groups are urging the IRS to delay this year’s tax filing deadline as the agency begins sending out another round of economic impact payments to American households.

The IRS has agreed to not seize some Americans' stimulus check to offset outstanding federal tax debts, according to an agency watchdog. 

The IRS could do a better job collecting taxes owed by wealthy Americans, a watchdog report claims, since hundreds of thousands of high net worth individuals have skated by without reconciling delinquent payments.

The third round of stimulus checks began flowing into Americans' bank accounts over the weekend — but for those still awaiting its arrival, there's a quick way to track the status. 

Beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2022, and before Jan. 1, 2027, a qualified taxpayer that employs a homeless person during the taxable year could receive a tax credit of up to $30,000 per taxable year, depending on the amount of hours worked by the homeless person. 

Banks have begun processing $1,400 federal stimulus checks for many Americans as part of President Biden's $2 trillion COVID-19 relief package.

States are sending forms showing benefits received to thousands of people who didn’t get any money.

President Biden on Thursday signed into law a sweeping coronavirus relief package that includes $1,400 stimulus checks for many Americans — but some individuals with unpaid debts could have that money seized this time around.  

Top House Democrats on Monday urged the Internal Revenue Service to extend the tax-filing deadline beyond the traditional April 15 deadline.

The Internal Revenue Service reported last week the total dollar amount of tax refunds was down 59.2% through Feb. 19, exactly one week after the start of tax season.

If you have a little extra cash you won't need anytime soon, you can make a prior-year traditional IRA contribution and reap the benefits now and in retirement. Here's a closer look at how it works and what kind of a difference it can make for your taxes.

The truncated 2021 tax season is expected to be another challenging year for payers and preparers, and various groups are already lobbying the IRS to provide avenues for relief.
