Best Science Shows for Kids. Science television can be a great way to get reluctant experimenters interested in STEM subjects and also can help nurture kids' natural curiosity about the world.
You can file your federal tax return as soon as you have all the relevant information and documents you'll need, but this doesn't mean the Internal Revenue Service will immediately process your return. The IRS didn't officially begin accepting tax returns for the 2016 tax year until January 23, 2017. It started accepting electronically filed tax returns and processing paper returns mailed to the agency on that day.
Many software companies and tax professionals will accept tax returns before Jan. 23 and then will submit the returns when IRS systems open. The IRS will begin processing paper tax returns at the same time. There is no advantage to filing tax returns on paper in early January instead of waiting for the agency to begin accepting e-filed returns. A new law requires the IRS to hold refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15 in an effort to detect fraud, and it will take several days for these refunds to be released and processed through banks.
