IRS opens 2025 tax season with April 15 deadline looming ahead
The IRS has begun accepting tax returns for the 2025 tax year. Taxpayers now have until April 15, 2026, to submit their documents. Early preparation can help avoid delays and secure refunds faster.
The official deadline for employers and financial institutions to issue 1099 forms was January 31. Those missing any forms should contact the issuer immediately to ensure they have all necessary records. Keeping tax documents—such as W-2s and 1099s—organized from the start makes the filing process smoother.
Filing early offers several advantages. It allows more time to calculate deductions accurately, speeds up refund payments, and reduces the risk of tax fraud. Taxpayers should also consider seeking professional help this year, as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduced new changes for 2025. Mark Steber, Chief Tax Officer at TurboTax, recommends gathering all 1099 forms as soon as possible. He also advises maximizing deductions, such as charitable donations and home office expenses. Using tax software can improve accuracy, while meeting the April 15 deadline avoids late penalties.
The IRS will process returns until the April 15 cutoff. Those who file early stand to benefit from quicker refunds and fewer errors. Following expert advice and staying organized can help taxpayers meet the new requirements without stress.
