Monday marks the official start of the IRS's acceptance and processing of 2024 income tax returns. As taxpayers prepare to navigate this year’s tax season, it’s crucial to stay informed about important deadlines and changes to tax regulations that may impact individual filings.
Taxpayers should gather all necessary documents, including W-2s, 1099s, and any other relevant financial records. It's also important to review any changes to tax laws that could affect deductions, credits, or overall tax liability. This year, filers should pay close attention to updates regarding the Child Tax Credit and other pandemic-related benefits that may still apply.
Moreover, those expecting a refund should consider filing early to expedite the process, as the IRS often experiences high volumes of submissions as the April deadline approaches. Taxpayers are encouraged to utilize electronic filing options for quicker processing and to ensure accuracy in their returns. As the tax season unfolds, staying organized and informed will help ensure a smoother filing experience.
