When you keep your tax records organized, it will lead you to a complete and accurate tax return preparation, making the process of filing much easier. It will also help you avoid errors that can lead to processing delays, slowing the time of your refund and avoid overlooked deductions or credits. Remember that all income, including from part-time work, side jobs or the sale of goods is taxable.

The deadline to file the 2023 (January 1 - December 31, 2023) federal income tax return is April 15th, 2024. If you own taxes, make sure you do not pass this date, or you can face penalties and interest. You need to timely file an extension if you missed the deadline. Also, keep in mind that if you file an extension, it does not give you more time to pay, it gives you more time to file. Payment is due by April 15th.

Understanding Taxes

Important Tax
Credits to Consider

For 2023, the following are the amounts established for the following credits:

  • Child Tax Credit (CTC): Those who got $3,600 per dependent in 2022 for the CTC will, if eligible, get $2,000 for the 2023 tax year.
  • Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): For the EITC, eligible taxpayers with no children who received roughly $1,500 in 2022 will now get $600 in 2023.
  • Child and Dependent Care Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Credit returns to a maximum of $2,100 in 2023 instead of $8,000 in 2022.

How Credits and
Deductions Work

It’s important to determine your eligibility for tax deductions and tax credits before you file.

  • Deductions can reduce the amount of your income before you calculate the tax you owe.
  • Credits can reduce the amount of tax you owe or increase your tax refund.
  • Certain credits may give you a refund even if you don’t owe any tax.

E-File

When you file electronically, the IRS receives the filed tax returns within 24 hours, while paper tax returns take several weeks sometimes months to be processed. The best option is always to:

  • File electronically.
  • Choose Direct Deposit for your tax refund – it’s the fastest and safest way to receive your money. If you file a paper return, you can still choose direct deposit.

  • It is expected that the IRS starts accepting and processing tax returns around January 20th, 2023. There is no announcement yet from the IRS.

Refund delays and timing

Different factors can affect the timing of a refund after the IRS accepts a return. When electronic filing the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, but some returns may require additional review and may take longer to process if IRS systems detect a possible error, the return is missing information or there is suspected identity theft or fraud.

Also, the IRS cannot issue refunds for people claiming the EITC or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. The law requires the IRS to hold the entire refund – not just the portion associated with EITC or ACTC.

When contacting the IRS to check for the status of your refund, have the following information on hand: Social Security or taxpayer ID number, know your filing status and the exact refund amount on your return, you can also download the IRS2go app.

To safeguard your identity and avoid misuse of your SSN, it is strongly suggested that you apply for the Identity Protection PIN program with the IRS. The IP pin is a 6-digit number assigned to taxpayers each year.
