The IRS will begin accepting and processing 2025 tax returns on Monday, January 26, 2026

 

Since the IRS has not finalized all forms and instructions yet to reflect the new tax laws, TurboTax cannot finalize the software.

 

While you can start preparing return in TurboTax, the return cannot be officially e-filed until the IRS systems are open for the season.

 

Please note: If you start preparing your return now, be aware that the calculations made by the software may not be accurate and might change.
