Tax return season is still underway in the United States. Although experts have been warning taxpayers for some time to prepare for another year of some delays. They also declare the importance of declaring on time and preparing all your information to the smallest detail to avoid complications.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began accepting tax returns on January 24.
Tax experts believe that families who received the child tax credit in advance, borrowers who suspended student loans or investors with large mutual fund payments will receive smaller refunds.
The agency said most refunds will be issued within 21 days. However, some factors may cause delays. Common mistakes, like payment errors or identity theft, can cause delays.
