The IRS announced that “tax season” for individual taxpayers will start January 23, 2023

The IRS today announced that the “tax season” for individual taxpayers will start January 23, 2023, at which time the IRS will begin accepting and processing individual income tax returns for 2022.

The IRS release—IR-2023-05—also notes that the deadline for filing 2022 tax returns (or an extension to file) is Tuesday, April 18, 2023, for most taxpayers. This year, the due date is April 18, instead of April 15, because of the weekend and the District of Columbia's Emancipation Day holiday, which falls on Monday, April 17 (holidays in Washington, D.C., affect tax deadlines for taxpayers in the same way that federal holidays do).

Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Monday, October 16, 2023, to file.
