TAS shares tips to help taxpayers prepare tax returns smoothly that cause return processing errors and refund delays. –

TAS will launch a pre-tax season awareness campaign in January. It is a national effort to help millions of taxpayers who prepare their own federal tax returns avoid common return processing problems that cause refund delays.

TAS invites taxpayers to attend one of the events in their area. If taxpayers are unable to attend an event, there are resources available for them on the TAS website and a list of tips below.
