Tax Filing Season Begins Soon: IRS to Accept Returns Starting Monday

Tax season is officially upon us, with the IRS set to begin accepting 2024 federal tax returns starting this Monday. Taxpayers have until April 15th to file their returns, marking the official deadline for submissions.

For eligible tax filers, the IRS is also offering its Direct File program in 25 states. This service allows qualifying individuals to file their taxes directly with the IRS for free, providing an easy and no-cost option for those who meet the eligibility criteria.

As the season kicks off, it’s a good time for individuals to gather their tax documents and prepare for the filing process. The IRS encourages filers to take advantage of available resources and deadlines to ensure a smooth and timely submission.
