Tax time is upon us.
The IRS released the official start date for the 2022 tax season, which kicks off Jan. 23.
Whether you're anticipating a refund or dreading the bill, you'll want to mark some important dates on your calendar.

But you still have a few months to figure out how you'll file your taxes.
This year, the IRS is giving most taxpayers until April 18, 2023, to submit 2022 tax returns or an extension to file and pay tax owed.
When Are Taxes Due in 2023?
April 18.

Fun fact: The universal “Tax Day” is April 15. But the deadline was pushed to April 18 because April 15 falls on a Saturday.
So why not April 17? Because Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington, D.C., where the IRS is located, takes place on Monday, April 17.
California storm victims have until May 15 to file their federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. You can find more information about eligibility in this IRS news release.
If that extension doesn't apply to you, you need to e-file or postmark your individual tax return by midnight April 18.
