When can I start entering my 2019 tax return?

posted

The TurboTax 2019 desktop software will be available in mid-November. The 2019 TurboTax online editions should be available sometime in December.

A 2019 tax return can only be filed after January 1, 2020. However, the IRS probably will not be accepting any type of 2019 tax return until late January 2020.

I would even wait a few days after e-filing begins to submit your return. for 2018 returns, there were many posts from early filers that encountered problems.
