Odds & Ends 2022 Mileage Rates
In case you haven’t heard, Congress gave the IRS and all taxpayers like you a gift for Christmas (maybe not what you expected). They have paused the Build Back Better debate for 2021. The law may be considered again for passage in 2022 session. IF the law had been passed this late in the year it WOULD HAVE MEANT:
Delayed filing season
Even later refunds (if that is possible)
Possibly extended filing season.
Thankfully Congress thought of you and didn’t want to give the IRS any more work which would cause an additional delay for your refunds. The IRS still has over 20 million 2020 tax year returns to process, do we want more delay?
On other news, The Annual Christmas Tax Newsletter was just emailed and mailed. Watch for your copy. . .
