In light of the IRS backlog regarding past filing years, they have added a new webpage to their website. This page is meant to help taxpayers and tax preparers stay up to date.

IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in the release, “The IRS is taking numerous steps to keep this tax season going smoothly while also taking additional action to address the inventory of tax returns filed last year”.

One update on the new IRS web page comes as a sigh of relief for taxpayers who are waiting on prior year returns to be processed; The IRS is suspending more than a dozen automated notices for missing returns and additional taxes owed.
