Important 2025 Tax Dates: Key Deadlines to Keep in Mind for a Smooth Tax Season
When can I file my taxes?
The tax season opening date, which usually falls in late January, marks the time when the IRS begins to accept and process tax returns for the previous tax year.
Returns that are filed after tax season ends in mid-April are generally considered late, which could result in penalties and fees if taxes are owed. Filers who get a timely extension have until October 15th to file, but their tax bill is still due in April.
