A few days ago the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that the tax season would be brought forward to its normal date, which was at the beginning of February, for 24 in January, taxpayers will now be able to submit their tax documentation.

These are some of the important dates that must be taken into account taxpayers for the presentation of their tax return corresponding to 2021.

18 January

On this date, taxes are due for estimated payments of the fourth quarter, used to pay quarterly installment levies on income that is not subject to withholding, such as self-employment earnings, alimony, and capital gains.

24 from January

As of this day, individual income tax returns will be accepted from 2021. Treasury Department officials urged taxpayers to file their tax returns as soon as possible, said taxpayers don’t need prior returns to file your returns of 2021.

On the other hand, authorities urged Americans to file electronically and provide their bank details in order for refunds to be made through direct deposit to avoid potential delays and receive their return within 21 days.

16 February

This date is very important, as qualified workers must complete a W-4 tax exemption form and submit it to their employers before February 16 if they are eligible.

18 of April

Tax filing season ends on this date for most people, instead of the usual deadline of 15 of April. Taxpayers can request an extension online by completing Form 4868 using the IRS Free File tool.

Those who choose this alternative must send the form before this date, or print it and mail it to the IRS address of their state, making sure that it is postmarked by 18 of April.

15 of June

The second estimated tax payment is due for 2022.

15 of September

The third estimated tax payment is due for 2021.

17 October

By this date, taxpayers who received tax deadline extensions must file their declarations before 17 October.
