Open Filing Season for 2023 Tax Returns (2/2)

When this year's tax season officially opens on January 29, it will feature several improvements to IRS services. Two key upgrades relate to digital form submission and options for taxpayers to access their IRS account information online.

Enhancements to IRS paperless processing systems include the addition of 20 more tax forms to e-filing platforms, and new ways to respond to IRS letters online. Taxpayers with online IRS accounts will also discover new account features, including options to schedule and cancel future payments, and to securely save bank information for greater convenience.

A tax professional can help you file your tax return and any other required forms electronically, to save resources and ensure the fastest possible refund delivery.

Open Filing Season for 2023 Tax Returns (1/2)

The IRS will begin accepting and processing 2023 tax returns on January 29, 2024, marking the official opening of tax filing season.

After January 29, taxpayers who have filed their returns may use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool (link below) to check the status of their tax refunds. The newly updated tool now works seamlessly on mobile devices, and will provide clearer and more detailed information than past versions. For example, it will notify taxpayers if the IRS needs more information from them in order to process their returns.

Although the IRS will not confirm receipt of tax returns until January 29, you may file at any time. A tax professional can help you complete and submit your return electronically, so you get your refund as quickly as possible.
