The IRS seems to get later and later in announcing the opening day of tax season. With that being said, they announced the date today to be Jan 29th.
The Internal Revenue Service today announced Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, as the official start date of the nation’s 2024 tax season when the agency will begin accepting and processing 2023 tax returns.
The IRS expects more than 128.7 million individual tax returns to be filed by the April 15, 2024, tax deadline.
Although the IRS will not officially begin accepting and processing tax returns until Jan. 29, people do not need to wait until then to work on their taxes if they’re using software companies or tax professionals. For example, most software companies accept electronic submissions and then hold them until the IRS is ready to begin processing later this month. IRS Free File will also be available on IRS.gov starting Jan. 12 in advance of the filing season opening
As a Zip Refund tax preparer you have access to start doing returns on Jan 2nd and through our partnership with the largest tax bank available, SBPTG, preparers can offer their clients advances on their refunds as well.
We are looking forward to another great tax season.
