The 2025 Tax Season is quickly approaching. The Internal Revenue Service will likely begin collecting tax returns in late January. In 2025, Tax Day will mark the end of the tax season. In most cases, Tax Day falls on April 15. Although the IRS has not confirmed the crucial dates in 2025, they are anticipated to be similar to those in 2024.
In 2024, the IRS did not announce the 2024 tax filing season until January 8. As a result, taxpayers will have to wait for the official tax season dates in 2025.
Remember to check the date of the extension (which is generally October 15). If you want to pay your taxes before April 15, 2025, but file later, use Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
IRS filing season date
Not only should you pay close attention to the dates the 2025 Tax Season start and finishes, but also to:
- The day the Internal Revenue ServiceFree File opens in 2025
- Due date for the 2024 4th quarter estimated tax payments
- Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day
- Due dates for States that have been granted a later deadline in April 2025
- Due date for extension filers in 2025
IRS suggests ways to prepare for the 2025 Tax Season
Here are simple ways to get ready for the upcoming tax season in 2025:
- Make sure you have an IRS online account
- Gather all the documents you will need for your 2024 tax refund
- Update your tax withholding if necessary before 2024 is over
- Request direct deposits if you qualify for a tax refund
- Make use of IRS online tools
- Use IRS resources to help you file
- Choose an official and authorized tax professional
Even if you can file your 2024 tax return before the deadline, it’s best not to leave it until the final day. Filing on the first day is also not recommended; double-check your tax return before filing to avoid errors that can cause your tax refund check to be delayed.
