IRS Will Begin Accepting Returns on February 12 This Year

Earlier today, the IRS announced that it will begin accepting tax returns on February 12 this year, which is around 2 weeks later than usual. The delay is caused by personnel shortages due to the pandemic, as well as the stated need for additional programming and testing of IRS systems following recent tax law changes - mainly those involving a second round of stimulus checks.

For our clients with appointments before February 12: We will work to complete your taxes in a timely manner as usual, but just be aware that we will not be able to file your returns until the 12th. We will update this page if the IRS makes any further announcements.
