The IRS wants to rewrite its complicated letters to taxpayers and speak to people in plain English.
The federal tax collector is rewriting and sending out commonly received notices ahead of the 2024 tax filing season as part of its new “Simple Notice Initiative.”
“Redesigned notices will be shorter, clearer and easier to understand,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on a Tuesday call with reporters to preview the initiative. “Taxpayers will see the difference when they open the mail and when they log into their online accounts.”
The 2024 tax season begins on January 29.
IMO the only good thing they happened while Trump was president was raising the standard deduction because I no longer need to itemize. It got so much easier and cheaper to file. I still have to do the state taxes though and even without itemizing I’m not exactly an accountant so I do always find it kind of complicated.
