Tax Season 2026 Starts Jan. 26: New IRS Deductions, Deadlines and the End of Direct File

U.S. taxpayers can begin submitting their 2025 federal income tax returns starting Monday as the IRS kicks off a filing season marked by updated tax laws and revamped forms. “The Internal Revenue Service is ready to help taxpayers meet their tax filing and payment obligations,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank Bisignano. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-first-day-of-2026-filing-season-online-tools-and-resources-help-with-tax-filing The timing is crucial since this marks the first filing season under President Donald Trump’s 2025 tax overhaul, the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. The legislation introduced new deductions and revamped existing limits and credits. As a result, even households earning the same as last year could see a shift in their refund or tax bill once the new rules are applied. https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/big-tax-changes-to-know-before-you-file
