The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a list of important tax deadlines for 2019. We have organized them below in chronological order. Remember, the IRS takes these deadlines seriously, and so should you. No adjustments have been made at this time as a result of the current partial shutdown of the federal government.

With the end of 2014 rushing at us, our thoughts may naturally turn to the upcoming holidays. But spare a few minutes now to think beyond the New Year to the mid-April deadline for filing taxes. Due to the confusion and uncertainty on Capitol Hill during a mid-term election year, it is difficult to predict precisely how the tax landscape will shake out. However, we can take a highly educated guess at the six factors most likely to impact the tax bill you’ll pay when filing next spring: Continue reading
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office is alerting financial institutions to be wary of fraudulent emails, ostensibly from the IRS, requesting personal financial data on account holders under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA). The emails request data such as account holder identities, account information, and confidential passwords.
The IRS says it does not request specific account holder identity information over the phone, by fax or by email, and does not solicit FACTA passwords or other confidential account information. They report that incidents of these “phishing” scams involving FACTA have occurred in multiple countries.
