The Division of Natural Resources says a record rainbow trout was caught in Berkeley County.
The Internal Revenue Service
announced March 4 that it has finished updating its tax-processing systems,
allowing all remaining individual and business taxpayers to file their 2012
federal income tax returns.
The IRS completed reprogramming
and testing of its systems for tax-year 2012, including all remaining updates
required by the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) enacted by Congress in
January. This final step clears the way for those claiming residential energy
credits on Form 5695 and various business tax credits and deductions to file
their returns.
The IRS began accepting 2012
returns in phases as it updated various forms and instructions and adjusted its
processing systems to reflect the current law.
The agency began accepting
most returns filed by individual taxpayers on Jan. 30. Additional returns could
be accepted in February.
All remaining returns,
affecting in relative terms the smallest group of taxpayers, can now be filed.
With just five weeks to go
before this year's April 15 deadline, the IRS reminds taxpayers that the best
way to file an accurate return is to e-file, choose direct deposit if expecting
a refund, and take advantage of the tax-filing and tax-help resources available
on IRS.gov.
People who need more time to
finish their returns can easily get an automatic six-month tax-filing extension
by going to the Free File link or filing Form 4868.
