Will the IRS ever contact me via email or phone call?

 - The short answer is no.  They will always send all correspondence via paper mail.

 

When is the deadline to file my taxes?

 - The deadline for personal taxes is April 15.  However, if that date falls on a weekend or after Emancipation Day (a holiday in DC), this pushes the deadline to the next business day. One new change effective for the 2016 tax year is that partnership tax returns are now due on March 15.

 

Can I check my tax refund status?
