Most of the time, the IRS is busy taking money from taxpayers. But every once in a while, we get an announcement like we had recently—the IRS has informed the public that they have over $900 million in refund money just waiting to be claimed.

We are in “crunch time” now when it comes to tax preparation – the IRS deadline of April 15 is only a few weeks away. And if you have been putting off the task, you are not alone! Unfortunately, waiting until the last minute can increase your stress level and force to rush to beat the deadline, which can lead to mistakes. For that reason, if you haven’t yet begun working on your taxes, we recommend that you get started now so that you don’t run out of time.
