2023 TAX RESOURCES FOR CAMPBELL COUNTY RESIDENTS


When you’re getting ready to file, make sure you have the following:

  • Current government-issued photo ID with address
  • Social Security number or individual tax ID number (ITIN) for you and anyone else on your return
  • Bank account and routing numbers to get a refund or pay by direct deposit (blank check)
  • Your adjusted gross income (AGI) and exact refund amount from your last return
  • If you e-filed last year, your self-select PIN
  • If you were a victim of identity theft, your IP PIN
  • Paycheck stubs (including unemployment benefit checks)
  • Statements from banks, payment apps, or online marketplaces
  • Documents from side jobs and self-employment
  • Documents for credits or deductions (e.g. childcare expenses, home mortgage, health savings account contributions, retirement contributions, etc.)

 


How to File:

Visit IRS.gov. Under “File,” click on “How to File.”

File online (preferred)

Note: This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll prepare it online; it just means that whoever is submitting your tax return does so online.

  • Find a professional in your area and have them file your taxes. They’ll need to be an authorized e-file provider. Browse the directory by going to IRS.gov and searching for “Tax Professionals.”
  • Use commercial tax prep software, which gets transmitted through IRS-approved electronic channels.
  • Use a free Tax Return Preparation Site (see next page).
  • If your adjusted gross income is $79,000 or less, use the IRS Free File tool.

If you use any of these e-file methods, you should receive your tax return about 3 weeks after the IRS receives it.

File through the mail

You can also mail the form back to the IRS. It’s taking the IRS 4+ weeks to process paper tax returns, so your refund will take even longer to arrive.

Where’s My Refund?

You can check the status of your 2023 income tax refund 24 hours after e-filing. (It can take a month or more if you file through the mail!) Go to IRS.gov/refunds to get started, or download the IRS2Go app. Check the status through the IRS before submitting a second tax return.

Only contact the IRS about your status if the “Where’s My Refund” tool directs you to.

Your refund might be delayed if your return needs corrections or extra review. If they need more information, the IRS will contact you by mail.
