Mark your calendars: the first day to file your IRS tax returns is just around the corner
The Inland Revenue Service made the official announcement about tax filing in 2025. Find out what you need to know and get ahead.

Taxpayers in the United States have been waiting for the IRS to announce the exact first date that it will begin accepting tax returns for the 2024 tax year. With that information confirmed, filers can get ready.
Filing taxes promptly not only ensures compliance with tax laws but also helps taxpayers receive any eligible refunds quickly. The IRS encourages electronic filing and direct deposit for faster and more efficient processing. Utilizing online tax filing platforms or professional tax preparation services can streamline the process, helping individuals navigate the complexities of the tax code.
Filers will have nearly three full months for which to file their taxes with the deadline on 15 April. However, it is not worth leaving it late as the sooner you file your taxes, the sooner the IRS can process your refund, if that is what you are owed.
The IRS has stated that the 2025 tax filing season will begin on Monday, January 27. Just days away.
