Due to a Federal Hiring Freeze, the IRS is extremely low on staff. It’s quite possible that processing will be very delayed. Which means a delay in receiving your tax refund.
Double-check your forms and information for errors before submitting your taxes.
It’s important to double-check all forms and information so that errors don’t further delay your tax processing and refund.
File your return electronically if possible and as early as possible.
Consult with a tax professional or research ‘new tax laws’ for WA State if you are preparing and filing your own taxes returns.
