The 2021 Tax filing year is over. Those who received an extension from the usual yearly deadline, have now had that time to file run out. Now, it's time to start thinking about the end of the year and planning for the next tax filing season. Making sure to check on changes to tax law in the last year that might effect you. Be sure to check in with the IRS if you've moved, gotten married, had kids or even lost a family member. Life changes can affect your tax filing status and the amount of money you receive in a tax return or pay out in taxes owed.
