When To File Your Taxes in 2024

In 2024, the IRS will begin accepting and processing 2023 tax returns on January 23, the official start date of the 2024 tax season. Most tax filers should aim to file their returns as early as possible, but the deadline to file without incurring any penalties is April 15, 2024.

Predicting Your Tax Refund Date

Once you’ve filed your taxes, you’re likely eager to know when you’ll receive your refund. The IRS states that most taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days of when they have accepted your e-filed tax return. However, this isn’t a guarantee. The exact date of your tax refund depends on the specifics of your tax return.
