When does IRS start processing 2024 tax returns and sending refunds?
I'm getting ready to file my taxes and wondering when the IRS actually starts accepting and processing returns this year. Also curious about when the first refunds will start going out? Anyone know the timeline for direct deposit vs paper checks?

Tax professional here. The IRS announced they'll start accepting and processing 2023 tax returns on January 29, 2024. Most refunds for returns with direct deposit and no issues are released within 21 days. EITC/ACTC claims won't be released before mid-February due to PATH Act requirements. Paper returns typically take 6-8 weeks minimum.

Is that 21 days business days or regular days?

Pro tip: Use taxr.ai to track your refund status. It analyzes your transcript and gives you a super accurate timeline prediction. Worth the $4.99 imo https://taxr.ai

Has anyone actually tried this? Seems kinda sketch to give access to tax docs 🤔

Yeah I used it last year! Its totally legit - saved me hours of trying to decode my transcript. The AI breaks everything down and even caught a delay code I missed
