While individual tax returns are typically due on April 15, this year’s date fell on a Friday, so the IRS moves the due date until after the weekend, so it was moved to Monday, April 18.
April 18, 2022 was the date when individual filers could enter their taxes and go penalty-free.
Employees must obtain a W-2 form from their current or former employer, which will allow them to file their taxes; If you do not have this form, be sure to contact the human resources department at your job.
The IRS has an Internet page available for filers to check their tax refund status, and it is located inside the IRS website. Tax return status is updated once a day, mainly after midnight.
tax refund waiting time:
Electronic tax filing typically takes three weeks to issue a tax refund, which is even faster if the filer chooses to receive direct deposit.
The long waiting time comes when the filer submits a paper return, due to the process that takes six months or more to process a tax refund.
In July, the IRS still had more than 11 million unprocessed tax returns.
How much will be refunded to a taxpayer?
This year, tax refunds will increase by an average of 13.24% compared to tax refunds issued during 2021, when the average tax refund was about $2,287.
Parents and legal guardians should note and list any progress they have made on their Child Tax Credit payment.
Every filer must include any economic stimulus payments received during 2021 on their tax return.
