IRS to start accepting tax returns on Jan. 29

(CNN) – You can get a jump start on federal income taxes starting Jan. 29.

This is when the IRS will begin to accept 2023 returns.

If you are not ready to get that far ahead, there is plenty of time since you have until April 15 to file.

There are exceptions to that deadline – taxpayers in Maine and Massachusetts have until April 17 to submit their returns due to those states’ observation of the Patriots Day and Emancipation Day holidays.

And anyone living or doing business in a federally declared disaster area may have a later date.

For instance, if you were affected by the storms and tornadoes that started on Dec. 9 in part of Tennessee, you will have until June 17 to file an pay what you owe.
