The Internal Revenue Service has kicked off the 2024 tax season by initiating the acceptance and processing of federal individual tax returns. This move is part of the agency’s efforts to enhance options for taxpayers. The IRS is anticipating a staggering 146 million individual tax returns for 2023 to be filed during this year’s filing season, which has a deadline of April 15th.
In conjunction with the commencement of the 2024 filing season, the IRS is extending the hours of service in nearly 250 taxpayer assistance centers nationwide to offer additional support to individuals. Furthermore, the agency is committed to further improving its phone service and expanding its online tools. Notably, the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov will provide more comprehensive details for taxpayers tracking the status of their tax refund.
This proactive approach by the IRS underscores its dedication to facilitating a smooth and efficient tax filing process for millions of Americans.
