the internal revenue service confirmed that the nation’s tax season will start for individual tax return filers on monday, january 27, 2020, when the tax agency will begin accepting and processing 2019 tax year returns.
the deadline to file 2019 tax returns and pay any tax owed is wednesday, april 15, 2020. more than 150 million individual tax returns for the 2019 tax year are expected to be filed, with the vast majority of those coming before the traditional april tax deadline.
“as we enter the filing season, taxpayers should know that the dedicated workforce of the irs stands ready to help,” said irs commissioner chuck rettig. “we encourage taxpayers to plan ahead and use the tools and information available on irs.gov. the irs and the nation’s tax community are committed to making this another smooth filing season.”
the irs says it set the january 27 opening date to ensure the security and readiness of key tax processing systems and to address the potential impact of recent tax legislation on 2019 tax returns.
while taxpayers may prepare returns through the irs’ free file program as well as many tax software companies and tax professionals before the start date, processing of those returns will begin after irs systems open later this month.

150 million; now that is an extensive number to see when it comes to tax filing individuals. tax inclusion is very necessary for any economy to gain progressive growth. the catchphrase used in the beginning that april 15th is just 98 days away, that has a nice effect on the reader in terms of creating the importance of this write-up. i appreciate that. yes, there is an extensive set of tools and guides on the irs website to aid the tax filers and tax preparers and should be religiously referred to in case of any doubt as the irs website is the only official and the utmost reliable source for said matters. this is going to be a busy time for cpas and accountants, but we should not lose cool. tax preparers should be vigilant and look out for errors in transactions and try their best to not miss out any tax transactions when filing to avoid irs notices and penalties. we should try to get our documents in order well ahead in time to avoid the last-minute anxieties.
