Traverse City, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/11/2014 -- Frank Ellis, a tax preparation planner in Traverse City, has published a new Examiner.com article explaining when people can start filing their taxes with the IRS. At times, the IRS may experience delays and as a result, returns may be accepted and processed later. While there are no changes in deadlines, this affects when people can start filing.

The agency has made available free e-filing. In fact, the author states the IRS will prioritize e-filed tax returns and process them such that taxpayers may get their returns sooner. Events such as government shutdowns have affected the process in the past, especially when they occur while the process systems are being updated for the current tax year.

Agency operations include programmers and testers. Since much of the IRS processing systems are electronic, the operational time lost during a shutdown can impact the ability to complete any tax returns sent in. The April 15 deadline applies nonetheless.

For many taxpayers, the author explains, the delays do not affect the time at which they normally file. The article, however, provides access to e-filing resources so one does not have to wait.

Numerous points cover the latest requirements for filing taxes, and are explained verbally throughout the video as well. It also details online 1040 tax forms, providing screenshots so people get an idea of what is required of them.
