IRS Delaying The Start Of 2020 Tax Filing Season

(WPXI) – For taxpayers who like to get an early start on filing their taxes, you have time to get your W2s and receipts in order. The IRS announced Friday that it has delayed the start of the 2020 tax filing season. The date is now set for Feb. 12 for the start of accepting and filing last year’s returns instead of the late-January traditional time frame because of the COVID-19 relief package that went into effect in December. “These changes ensure that eligible people will receive any remaining stimulus money as a recovery rebate credit when they file their return,” the IRS said.
