Tuesday, January 17, the IRS began accepting e-filed tax returns for 2011, so I guess we can say that the tax season has officially started.
Some notes are in order if you expect a refund. If you e-file and choose direct deposit for your refund, you may receive your money as soon as 10 days after you file. The IRS estimates that at least 90% of all refunds will be sent within 21 days after you file. Of course that is only if you have no errors on your return.
Remember that you may check on the status of a refund by using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the IRS website. Also, there is a smart phone app, IRS2go, that will link you up to check on a refund.
Happy filing!
