Big news — The IRS has finally announced the day they will begin accepting e-files: January 29th. And Tax Day is April 17th — making it a shorter-than-usual season, based on the number of days in-between.
Therefore, we encourage getting your books and tax prep docs together ahead-of-time, making fourth-quarter estimates based on these reconciled books, and getting in-line with your tax preparer asap, so as to avoid any bottlenecks. Your tax accountant can prepare your return ahead of the due date and simply check for new form updates the day filing opens — then your return will be one of the first in the queue.
