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.
Early taxpayers who've had their refunds delayed by the IRS will now get their checks. If you qualified for the earned income tax credit or the additional child tax credit, and you turned in your return early â considering tax season started on Jan. 23 â the IRS started distributing refunds on Feb. 15. Assuming there are no issues with processing your return, you'll likely see your refund the week of Feb. 27. This can be a hefty sum of money, considering the average refund was $2,860 for the 2015 tax year, according to the IRS. A new law requires the federal agency to delay the entire refund for households that file early and claim the earned income tax credit or the additional child tax credit.
