Cuts at the Irs could delay tax refunds, reduce tax payer services and hurt enforcement efforts. If you attempt to call the Irs for assistance this filing season you may not be able to get through to a person. Everyones return will be processed but getting your refund quickly this year may not be as fast as prior years.
Congress cut the Irs budget and the cuts come as the Irs is starting to play a bigger role in the Presidents health care law, for the first time tax payers must report if they have health care insurance.
The Irs imposed a hiring freeze except for emergencies and is eliminating almost all overtime. It is more important then ever to choose a qualified tax preparer. Tax payers should be aware of tax preparers who promise big refunds.
The tax filing season may also be delayed. Congress has passed a last minuite tax bill extending more then 50 temporary tax breaks that had expired, this tax bill is awaiting the presidents signature.
