MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — The deadline to file federal taxes is Monday.
IRS Public Affairs Officer Lauren Winebrenner has some tips.
“My first tip is don’t panic. Rushing to file your tax return can result in errors.” Winebrenner told the Panhandle News Network in Martinsburg. “Be sure if you haven’t filed yet, get all your documents in order. Use electronic filing, which can minimize errors, and visit irs.gov for tips.”
Winebrenner said taxpayers can call 844-545-5640 to call and find the nearest open facility and make an appointment for tax assistance.
She cautions that the hours and dates may vary and that some of the offices are not open all the time.
Free tax preparation assistance may be available for those who might qualify. More information can be found at the website.
Winebrenner is based out of the Eastern Panhandle, but her office serves West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland.
