IRS begins accepting tax filings for 2017

The Internal Revenue Service kicked off the 2017 tax season Monday, January 23, although the IRS won’t be able to process some returns until the week of February 15.


The IRS is anticipating it will receive more than 153 million tax returns this year. Taxpayers get a few extra days, until Tuesday, April 18, to file their 2016 tax returns, because April 15 falls on a Saturday, and April 17 is Emancipation Day, a holiday that is observed in Washington, D.C.
Taxpayers and preparers who file returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit will see some delays in getting their tax returns processed. A 2016 law requires the IRS to hold refunds claiming the EITC and the ACTC until February 15 to safeguard against identity theft. However, the IRS is encouraging taxpayers to file as they normally would, including returns claiming the EITC or ACTC.
The IRS will begin releasing EITC and ACTC refunds on February 15, but is warning taxpayers the refund probably won’t start arriving in their bank accounts or on their debit cards until the week of February 27. For EITC and ACTC filers, the three-day holiday weekend involving President’s Day could also affect the timing of their tax refunds.
"Following months of hard work, we successfully opened our processing systems today to start this year’s tax season,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen in a statement. “Getting to this point is a year-round effort for the IRS and the nation’s tax community. The dedicated employees of the IRS look forward to serving taxpayers this filing season, and I want to thank all of the tax and payroll community for their hard work that makes tax time smoother for the nation.”
