The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has announced when the new tax season starts in 2024. In fact, it will be on January 29. So, it is 6 days later than it was in the previous year.
To get your tax refund money you must file first. The second date you must save is April 15. It will be when the Internal Revenue Service will stop receiving tax returns for most filers. If you do not have enough time, apply for an extension.
Some States may have a longer deadline due to holidays or because of natural disasters. For example, the IRS claims that the due date to file in Massachusetts and Maine will be April 17, instead of April 15.
WHEN IS THE DUE DATE THE IRS SET FOR FILERS WHO GOT AN EXTENSION?
The IRS has announced that the deadline to file if you get an extension will be on October 15. What is more, there is a new service for some eligible taxpayers in the United States.
For your information, it is known as Direct File and it can help you file. However, only some States are taking part in this Pilot program. By doing so, they can learn how effective it is and they can help taxpayers faster too.
Besides, it was from January 12 when the Internal Revenue Service allowed taxpayers in some States to use Free File. This is the best way to do your taxes without having to pay for it. On the one hand, it can help you prepare your taxes.
On the other hand, it will also help you file your 2023 tax return. It is true that not all taxpayers qualify for the IRS Free File. Anyway, you can always hire a tax preparer to do the tough work for you.
