Tax season has arrived again. You can start working on your tax returns.
The IRS begins processing tax returns today.
CPA Jay Rabalais says they've gotten calls from worried tax filers.
"They're concerned their tax returns aren't going to be processed timely, refunds aren't going to be sent timely, but from all the information we've seen and gotten from the government, it looks like the e-filing system will operate as normal," Rabalais said.
Individual tax returns aren't DUE until April 15.
"If you've processed e-filed returns up until now, your e-file provider will send those so you should be good to go," he said.
Rabalais says when you start to file, you'll notice some differences.
"What most taxpayers are going to see pull up that 1040, they're going to notice it doesn't look like anything they've ever seen before," Rabalais added. "The changes are pretty widespread."
He says the tax help line at the IRS can help. Just be patient, because wait times are longer than usual.
