Welcome to tax season. What to know before you file
Briefly

The IRS will start processing 2024 income tax returns on Monday, with April 15 set as the official filing and payment deadline. Taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas may receive extensions, and those needing more time can file for an automatic six-month extension. However, this does not extend the payment deadline. The IRS Direct File program now allows eligible taxpayers in 25 states to file their taxes directly for free, expanding access and affordability.
The IRS Direct File program lets eligible taxpayers file directly with the IRS for free, expanding to 25 states this year, up from 12 last year.
The official IRS filing and payment deadline this year is April 15, unless you live in a federally declared disaster area or apply for an extension.
