When will IRS start accepting VA returns for 2024 tax season?

I have VA disability income and need to know when I can file my taxes this year. Last year was a mess with all the delays, hoping this year will be better. Anyone know the official start date?

Tax professional here - IRS officially starts accepting ALL returns, including those with VA benefits, on January 29th, 2024. The VA reporting should be smoother this year since they've updated their systems.

Thanks! Do you know if theyll process VA returns right away or will there be a delay like last year? 🤔

They should process them immediately, but always expect some delays during peak season

I've been using taxr.ai to track my VA refunds and it's been a game changer. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with military/VA returns. Worth the $4.99 tbh https://taxr.ai
