all of the initial figures are double-digit down, largely because of seven days’ fewer collections. the 2023 filing season began on jan. 23 vs. 2024’s jan. 29, so 2023 totals cover 12 days as opposed to this season’s five days.

the internal revenue service still dreams of joining these early years of the 21st century. to get started, the service has gone so far as to launch an individual online account program. iolas allow taxpayers to

  • view basic information,
  • make payments,
  • enter into payment plans and
  • view and download certain notices.

all of which is very nice but soooo 1998.

are you a sleazy, incompetent, unethical tax preparer?

taxpayer assistance centers are a great service for the tens of millions of taxpayers who can’t afford the professional help of a tax preparer. they offer a chance for a taxpayer to sit down with an actual human being who is prepared to help.
