No one knows an exact date yet----but likely late in January of 2023, since tax year 2022 has to be over before you can file a 2022 tax return. Why do you ask?
Q. What is the earliest date you can file taxes for 2022?
A. January 1, 2023 if you file a paper return. But, it's still possible that all forms may not be ready by then. The IRS has not announced when electronic filing will be available, but typically it's after January 20th.
My wife and I are going on a cruise that leaves on January 19, 2023. Can we file an early return before then?
@Lonetone - what is the rush? the experience on these boards is those who file early are the ones that have amendments later!
Employers and other financial institutions are not required to get the appropriate forms to you until January 31st. You can not file based on the last paystub of 2022.
Normally, the IRS opens the window to file the last week of January.
if you have child tax credit or EIC eligibility, the IRS can not begin processing those tax returns until February 15 by law.

A. Yes. As previously stated, you can mail in a paper return. That assumes that all of the forms you use are finalized. Some of the lesser used forms may not be.
Even if the IRS is not yet accepting e-filed returms, TurboTax (TT) will (usually) allow you to e-file before then. TT will "hold" your return until the IRS starts accepting them.
