Tax day is two weeks away. For those who haven't filed yet, now is the time to get started. Despite recent turmoil within the IRS and the federal government more broadly, tax experts say the filing season seems to be going smoothly. About 140 million individual tax returns are expected to be filed this year.
"People are concerned about how the tax process is going to work this year, for sure," says Eric Bronnenkant, head of tax at Edelman Financial Engines. But "there really haven't been any major tax changes that would have impacted this tax filing season."
