In just a few days, tax season 2023 will get its start, meaning that the IRS will begin accepting and processing tax returns. Here we discuss everything you need to know, from some basic tips to the extended deadlines for the victims of the California storms.
Tax Season 2023 Begins January 23
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will begin accepting and processing tax returns on January 23, 2023.
While the official deadline to file and pay federal taxes is April 18, 2023, the IRS now offers an extended May 15, 2323, deadline for the victims of the storms that are still affecting California (for more information see the next section).
Here’s a quick list with tips that will help you enjoy a stress-free tax filing season:
- Gather all the information you need before filing your tax return (such as Social Security Number or ITIN, supporting documents, information of dependents, among others)
- Take the time to review your tax situation and make sure you don’t overlook tax credits you may be eligible for
- If you need more information, contact the IRS. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with our tax experts at Delgado’s Insurance
