Filing Individual Income Tax Returns FAQ. - Page 2

Question: I heard the IRS is going to delay receiving tax returns this year. Is that true and if so, when are they going to start taking them?

(I might have heard it wrong I think)

Not only would a person find themselves paying more but sometimes places like those (H&Block, 'notarios', and just places that offer something that seems to good to be true) are usually not trustworthy. I spoke to one of my supervisors about what he thought about working in a place like HRBlock and he said something like "If you like having a clear conscience then that's not the place for you."

Places like those can be shady. Not only that but before paid tax preparers weren't required to take tests.Thanks for the idea 2Face I'll add it.

Yea they won't start processing them till January 30th and that includes both e-filed and paper returns. Now for some people they won't accept them till later but that applies to those with residential energy credits, depreciation, and business credits. However that doesn't mean you can't get your return done it just means they won't start processing them till that date and if you are expecting a refund you can start expecting it after that date. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, that makes sense! Thank you!

Bear in mind, that the IRS switched processing systems in 2012 so your refund is going to take considerably longer to come in. The standard 7-8ish days is now going to take approximately 21 days.

I'm afraid I believe this will have an economic impact on 1Q13 earnings (and thus, consumer confidence).

This thread is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!! So here's my scenario-- I've been approved for EAD and I have my SSN. I've never had one before or an ITIN. I worked pretty regularly last year as a nanny, cleaning houses, selling baked goods, everything off the books. I'm currently looking for a job on the books now and I have both a savings and checking account with BOA. Where do I even start when it comes to filing taxes? I didn't keep any records of anything. Appreciate all the help

No problem! Hope to be able to include more info soon. Congrats on your EAD/DACA approval! I'll PM you.

I have a question. I'm still waiting on my daca approval... Would you recommend waiting until I get "dacamented" to do my taxes? I have two kids so I'm planning on amending my prior returns.

I'd say wait now and if by early March you're not approved (I really hope you are)get them done and then you can amend them.

I really hope you're approved before then that way you can amend 2009 and claim EIC if you qualify for it.

Hey, can you pm me the same information you gave Deez?
