Tax Schedule 2016 Updated

Great news! The IRS have recently started accepting taxpayer 2015 tax returns a week earlier than officially reported. We have updated our Tax Schedule 2016 to reflect this. See below:

Early Tax Return Acceptance has recently been reported to us.

We have had a few of our Facebook followers and website viewers report that they have had their federal tax returns accepted by the IRS already for Tax Season 2016. We were under the impression from the IRS that returns would not be accepted until January 19th, 2016. This is great news for those lucky ones. We will update our 2016 IRS tax refund schedule to reflect the lucky few who have been accepted. Feel free to send us an email regarding your tax return acceptance date to give us all some hope. Many individuals might expect to get their IRS Tax Return Acceptance Early, but read the email before jumping to that conclusion. Early Tax Return Acceptance is very common each tax season due to the IRS testing their online e-file processing.

We are keeping this very short because none of our accountants or clients have reported this and it is purely from Facebook messages.

Tax Delay 2015: IRS Commissioner expects rough tax season

IRS Commissioner expects rough tax season

The Internal Revenue Service is turning to Twitter and YouTube to reach taxpayers this year in an effort to increase online information about filing taxes as the agency faces an abysmal customer-service rate.

Strained by budget cuts and a declining staff, the IRS plans to direct more taxpayers to the Web to try to reduce the burden on its ill-equipped call center, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told USA TODAY in an interview Monday.

YouTube videos posted in recent months explain how the free file program works and give advice to first-time filers. The IRS Twitter feed is filled with links to commonly asked questions and answers and information about the effect of health coverage on tax returns this year. In addition to social media, the tax body has also increased the capability and advertising of its website features. That includes the “Where’s My Refund?” application that the IRS launched last tax season to let people check the status of their refunds.

The goal: more people finding answers to their tax questions without talking to anyone in person.

The IRS expects nearly half of the calls it gets this season to go unanswered. Wait times for those who get through will push 30 minutes.

“It’s a challenging year,” Koskinen said. “We are trying to move as many people (online) as we can. Last year, 15% to 18% of our calls were people asking for information about their refunds or their transcripts that they could have gotten online.”

Encouraging more people to e-file will also alleviate some of the load for IRS employees. In 2014, about 85% of filers e-filed. But it’s the remaining tens of millions of tax returns filed as hard copies that take more work and time to process. Refunds for those who file paper returns this year are expected to be delivered within seven weeks, if not longer. E-file refunds take about three weeks to be processed. The goal of putting as much information as possible online is also to decrease the probability of people making mistakes, so returns and refunds are both processed more quickly, Koskinen said.

Although, more online returns and refunds also means more opportunities for cybercriminals, particularly “very sophisticated” organized crime rings, Koskinen said. The IRS has taken steps to partner with state and local law enforcement in the past three years, and has “thrown a couple thousand people in jail” in recent years. Last year, the tax group stopped $18 billion in refunds tied to false tax returns, but Koskinen estimates the IRS is still losing $3 billion to $5 billion a year to fraudsters.

“It’s much more under control, but it still concerns us,” he said.

This is also the first year the Affordable Care Act factors into tax returns. While most taxpayers simply have to verify that they have health insurance by checking a box, Koskinen said that about 4.5 million of the 150 million returns expected to be filed will involve additional paperwork related to tax credits that offset insurance premiums. Though since “flooding the zone” with information for consumers and tax preparers starting last spring, the IRS is now expecting fewer calls related to the ACA than it originally projected, down to 5 million from an estimate of 11 million.

“We haven’t noticed any significant problems or confusion,” Koskinen said, though he admits it’s early in the season. Overall, he remains cautiously optimistic that the IRS’ shrinking staff will still be able to help taxpayers. “It’s possible that the level of service won’t be as bad as we worry about it.”

As a note from Tax Act, “As part of controlled IRS testing, a small number of federal returns will be transmitted to the IRS between January 12th and January 16th, 2015. This is before processing officially begins on January 20th. If you receive an acknowledgement during this timeframe, your return has been accepted by the IRS but your refund will not be processed early.”
