This page will help reduce errors and tax return rejections by the IRS and/or state agencies. The 2022 Tax Season began in January 2022 for 2021 Returns due by April 18, 2022. If you have not yet filed, you can eFileIT until October 17, 2022. However, we recommend you don't eFile until you are absolutely certain you have received all your tax forms, like a W-2 or 1099. According to the IRS, any employers, brokers, etc. have to send these forms to you by January 31.
Furthermore, throughout the tax year, follow the eFile.com TickIT outline so you get to keep more of your hard earned money. Start using the eFile.com Taxometer in January to taxercise your paycheck, tax withholding, and balance your tax return.
