When does the IRS start accepting e-filed returns?

by TurboTax•418• Updated 7 months ago

The IRS began accepting e-filed 2024 returns on January 27, 2025.

You can file your federal return when you have all of your 2024 tax info (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and all the tax forms and schedules in your return have been finalized. Most should be ready by late January.
