IRS Announces 2011 Tax Changes
It’s time to start preparing to file your 2010 tax return and there are some important changes we thought you should know about.
- Tax payers will have until Monday, April 18, 2011 to file their 2010 tax return, due to Emancipation Day (a holiday recognized in Washington D.C.) which falls on April 15, the preceding Friday
- Although most can begin to file starting on January 1, some tax payers will need to wait until mid to late February in order to allow the IRS time to reprogram their processing statements. Those that must wait include:
- Taxpayers claiming itemized deductions on Schedule A
- Taxpayers claiming the higher education tuition and fees deduction
- Taxpayers claiming the educator expense deduction
