Employers are required to send W-2 forms to their employees by Jan. 31. That means people have already started filing their taxes and the deadline is April 15.

There are some changes this year. The IRS has its new Direct File program, which some Nevadans are eligible to use this year. And people who bought certain electric vehicles in 2023 can get credit for them.

But what else is new and noteworthy? What’s changed with filing in the last year? A local IRS official and CPA explain everything.

Guests: Todd Cox, CPA and former agent, Gaming Control Board; Raphael Tulino, IRS spokesman, Southwest U.S.
