In addition to a paper return backlog and understaffed IRS, this year’s returns will also be complicated by stimulus checks and advance child tax credit payments. Erb joins our weekly podcast, Talking Tax, to talk about what filers and tax pros can expect in the coming weeks and about why, this year, it may not necessarily be a good idea to file early.
