The IRS has clarified that the special state payments issued to taxpayers in Indiana and Illinois do not have to be reported on taxpayers' federal filings.
The rebates and refunds residents in Illinois and Indiana received last year are "complex" and the IRS is advising taxpayers wait to file their 2022 returns.
I think it's probably safe to point out that no one likes tax season (unless they're in the tax preparation business) because it can be complicated, stressful, and it shows up every year.
Tax season is here but unlike years past, the IRS wasn't accepting tax filings before February 12, 2021. Because of that, they and the Indiana Department of Revenue have extended the filing deadline.
