When can you start filing taxes in 2025? IRS announces earliest date to accept tax returns
Although the IRS has yet to make an official announcement, historical patterns suggest that tax filing will commence in the last week of January 2025.
While the exact date has not been confirmed, taxpayers can expect the IRS to begin accepting tax returns for the 2024 tax year in late January 2025, likely around January 27th or 29th.
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.
