It’s that time again, all you eager tax filers! Tax season will open on Jan. 27, the IRS announced. People can file their taxes until April 15.
IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel gave reporters the run-down on the upcoming tax season and tools that the agency will be offering this year, including an expanded Direct File program.
A lot is looming for the IRS: President-elect Donald Trump made the unusual move of naming a replacement for Werfel – signaling he’ll oust him – and the GOP wants to undo Democrat-initiated funding and programs at the IRS. But for now, things are chugging ahead for the agency under Werfel’s guidance.
