Here’s how to change that.

Dates to remember:

Update: The IRS has announced that the tax season will begin January 28, 2019 to start filing your 2018 tax returns!

Overall, this means that all IRS offices are closed because of the government shutdown. Read on to find out what you need to know for this tax season.
