The earliest you should file your tax return is when you are absolutely positive beyond a doubt that you have entered every W-2, every 1099, every iota of information for 2022 that needs to be on your 2022 tax return so that you will not be one of the people who asks how to amend a day or a week later when they realize they forgot something in their frenzy to file as soon as possible. Many of those documents do not arrive in your mailbox until late January or sometime in February. When you file too soon, your return just sits on a server waiting for the IRS to being accepting and processing. While it sits in pending on the server, you cannot do anything to fix mistakes. We do not yet have a date when e-filing will open, nor do we have the date when the IRS will begin to accept e-files for 2022 returns. Check back in a few weeks.
