In just a few days, the IRS will start accepting and processing tax returns, marking the beginning of the 2023 tax filing season. In today’s post, we tell you everything you need to know, including information about the extended deadline for victims of the California storms.

 Tax Season Begins January 23

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has informed that it will start accepting tax returns on January 23, 2023.

Taxpayers will have until April 18, 2023, to file their federal taxes and make the related payments.

The IRS expects to process more than 168 million individual tax returns, with the majority of them arriving before the April 18 deadline. 

Here are some tips to ensure a smooth tax-filing season:

• Gather all the information you need before filing your tax return (this includes Social Security Number or ITIN, supporting documents, information of dependents, among others)

• Review your tax situation to make sure you don’t overlook tax credits you may be eligible for

• If you have questions, contact the IRS, or get in touch with the tax pros at JT Tax Services. We’ll be happy to answer all your tax questions!
