The IRS is on a mission to separate fact from fiction. Specifically, it wants to debunk common myths about filing tax returns, finding refund information and adjusting withholding. First a few facts about this year’s filing season: nine out of 10 refunds were issued within 21 days; as of March 31, the IRS had issued more than 63 million refunds worth more than $183 billion; and the average refund so far is $2,910. A myth the IRS encounters is when a taxpayer requests an extension, he or she doesn’t need to do anything until Oct. 16. In fact, the extension only means you don’t have to file a return until then. If tax is owed, it must be paid by April 18. For more myths: https://bit.ly/3GCHZDd
