Get ready to file your 2022 tax return! The IRS has announced that the 2023 tax season begins on Monday, Jan. 23. As always, taxpayers are encouraged to file well in advance of the April 18, 2023, deadline to beat the last-minute rush and help prevent tax identity theft. The IRS is expecting more than 168 million individual returns this tax season. Recently, it hired over 5,000 new customer service representatives, which should cut down on the long phone waits of recent years. Taxpayers who need an extension must file their requests by April 18, 2023. They will then have until Oct. 16, 2023, to file.
