The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a list of things taxpayers should keep in mind while preparing to file taxes in 2024, including new features in online accounts, refund delays, tax credit refunds, and securing energy credits.
Taxpayers can now use their IRS online account to “view, approve and electronically sign power of attorney and tax information authorizations from their tax professional,” the agency said in a Dec. 11 press release. The account can also be used for viewing taxes owed, payment history, requesting tax receipts, applying for payment plans, and validating bank accounts. The IRS reminded taxpayers to avoid refund delays, and gain an understanding of refund timing.
