The IRS has yet to release an official first day to file taxes in 2017, but we estimate January 24th, 2017 to be the first day to file in 2017.
The IRS will begin accepting the 2016 Tax Returns on January 24th, 2017. In previous years, we have seen the IRS announce their official start date for the upcoming tax season in December. As soon as we have the official date, we will update this post. Please bookmark and share to get the word out.
