The IRS is expecting over 140 million individual tax returns for the tax year 2024 to be filed ahead of April's deadline.

Although 2024 tax returns aren’t due until April 15, the IRS began accepting them last month. That means the 2025 tax season is officially underway. And like it or not, you’re going to have to tackle the task of preparing a return to submit to the IRS.

The IRS expects more than 140 million returns for Tax Year 2024, with changes for third-party payment platforms and important tax credits to consider.

WASHINGTON (AP) — IRS employees involved in the 2025 tax season will not be allowed to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration until May 15th, according to a letter sent Wednesday to IRS employees.

Some government employees who work for the Internal Revenue Service and choose to take the so-called "buyout" offered by the White House, will have to stick around through tax season 2025, according to an email viewed by Axios.

The National Treasury Employees Union president advised all federal workers not to accept the buyout offer, which she says is dubious.
