The federal tax filing season is about to start on Jan. 24, and you’ll want to get a head start if you want your tax refund as soon as possible. Start gathering tax documents now, and don’t throw away any letter the IRS mails you. Just because you can’t file your tax return yet doesn’t mean you can’t start organizing your documents. A lot of important tax documents are sent out soon. For example, refunds for people claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) can’t be issued before mid-February due to a security measure within the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act.
