The IRS will begin accepting tax returns beginning Monday, and if you’re in a lower tax bracket this year, you’re probably going to see a bigger refund check. But should you file early, or wait until later? Here’s what we know.
When does tax season start in 2024?
Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, is the earliest date the Internal Revenue Service will begin accepting and processing 2023 tax returns. You don’t have to wait to submit your documents, however. Many tax preparation companies will take electronic submissions, then file them to the IRS when it’s time.

When is the deadline to file taxes in 2024?
April 15, 2024, is the filing deadline for taxes. That’s on a Monday this year.
What happens if I miss the tax deadline?
If you fail to file your federal tax return on time, the standard penalty is a whopping 5% of any tax due for every month the return is late, up to 25% of the unpaid balance. If you file a return but fail to pay any taxes you owe, or if you get an extension, you typically face a much smaller monthly penalty of 0.5% of any unpaid amount.
Can I request more time from the April 15 deadline to file taxes?
Yes; if you request an extension, you’ll have until Oct. 15 to file your return. That doesn’t buy you more time to pay your taxes, however. You’ll still have to pay any amount due to avoid penalties, but you’ll have more time to complete your tax forms.
How long does it take to get my tax refund?
The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days. It could take longer, however, if you send your tax return by mail.

Did my tax bracket change in 2024?
Your tax bracket might’ve changed this year after the IRS adjusted its numbers for inflation. This is done annually to prevent “bracket creep,” or when taxpayers are pushed into a higher bracket without any real change to their income or buying power due to inflation.
This year the IRS gave a 5.4% nudge to taxpayer income to reach each new bracket.
What’s my tax bracket in 2024?
There are seven federal income tax rates as set by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act. Your tax bracket is determined by how much money you earn — the more income you make, the higher percentage of taxes you pay. The rates are set progressively at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%.
For people filing as single individuals in 2024, your tax bracket is this:
- 10%: Taxable income up to $11,600
- 12%: Taxable income over $11,600
- 22%: Taxable income over $47,150
- 24%: Taxable income over $100,525
- 32%: Taxable income over $191,950
- 35%: Taxable income over $243,725
- 37%: Taxable income over $609,350
If you’re filing a joint income in 2024, it’s this:
- 10%: Taxable income up to $23,200
- 12%: Taxable income over $23,200
- 22%: Taxable income over $94,300
- 24%: Taxable income over $201,050
- 32%: Taxable income over $383,900
- 35%: Taxable income over $487,450
- 37%: Taxable income over $731,200
I’ve used TurboTax and H&R Block in the past, but can I file my taxes for free at IRS.gov?
Yes, you can. If your adjusted gross income is $79,000 or less. “IRS Free File” allows qualified taxpayers to file their federal income tax returns online using guided tax preparation software at IRS.gov.
What’s new for standard tax deductions in 2024?
- The 2024 tax year standard deductions will increase to $29,200 for married couples filing jointly. That’s an increase of $1,500 from the previous tax year.
- The standard deduction for single taxpayers has been raised to $14,600, up from $13,850 in 2023.
- If you’re the “head of household,” the standard deduction has been bumped $1,100 to $21,900 from the previous year.
