 TITLE: 2021 Tax Deadlines You Need to Know CONTENT: February 12, 2021\n-----------------\n### IRS Begins Accepting 2020 Tax Returns\nThis is the day that the IRS will begin accepting and processing 2020 tax returns. Once tax season gets rolling, be on the lookout for important documents you'll need on hand when filing your tax return. These documents likely include:\n*   W-2s from employers (or, if you're self-employed, 1099s from clients who paid you for work).\n*   Documents related to contributions you made to a tax-advantaged retirement account, such as a 401(k) or traditional IRA. The same goes for contributions to a health savings account.\n*   Documents related to interest paid on student loans. The IRS will allow you to deduct up to $2,500 from your 2020 taxable income. END
