On Friday the IRS said that the official start date of this year’s tax filing season will be January 27. That is the first day the agency will start accepting and processing 2024 income tax returns.
The agency said Friday its pilot Direct File program will now be open in 25 states, up from 12 when it launched last year. The program lets eligible tax filers file their taxes directly with the IRS for free, starting January 27.
Wisconsin is one of the states where Direct File is now available.
The official deadline to file your 2024 return will be April 15.
