π― Friday Tax Questions / Answers | June 5, 2026
Every week, we answer important tax questions that taxpayers and tax professionals are asking in 2026!
βQ1: Can I still file my 2025 tax return if I missed the April deadline?
β
Answer: Yes. The IRS encourages taxpayers who missed the deadline to file as soon as possible. Filing quickly may reduce penalties and interest, and some taxpayers may still qualify for refunds or credits.
βQ2: What should I do if I receive a letter from the IRS?
β
Answer: Don't ignore it. Read the notice carefully, follow any instructions provided, and keep a copy for your records. Many notices can be resolved without calling the IRS.
βQ3: Can I check my tax account information online?
β
Answer: Yes. An IRS Individual Online Account allows taxpayers to securely access tax records, payment history, notices, and other important information.
βQ4: I have tax debt. Do I have options besides paying the full amount immediately?
β
Answer: Yes. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for payment plans, installment agreements, or other IRS programs designed to help taxpayers manage tax debt.
βQ5: How can small business owners protect themselves from tax scams?
β
Answer: Be cautious of unsolicited emails, texts, social media messages, and phone calls claiming to be from the IRS. Always verify information through official IRS channels and work with trusted tax professionals.
