IRS OPENS THE 2023 TAX FILING SEASON
The Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the nation's tax season will start for individual tax return filers on Monday, January 29, 2024, when the tax agency will begin accepting and processing 2023 tax year returns. The deadline to file 2023 tax returns and pay any tax owed is April 15, 2024. If you file an extension on April 15, 2024, you have an automatic 6-month extension to file your income tax return for 2023 on October 15, 2024. When you file an extension, don’t forget to pay the estimated tax. Any unpaid tax will be charged the penalty and interested until you pay in full.
​
DEADLINE TAX TIP
The penalties for not filing are higher than not paying taxes! Thus, don't miss a filing deadline if you owe taxes, even if you can't pay your taxes on time, since the late filing penalties are generally significantly higher than the not paying taxes on time penalties. E-file and pay as little or as much as you can afford.
