The 2024 tax season for US citizens involves preparing and filing their 2023 tax returns by April 15, 2024. This period is crucial for taxpayers to gather their financial documents, such as W-2s and 1099s, and decide whether to self-prepare their taxes or seek professional help. It's also a time to explore deductions and credits to minimize liabilities or maximize refunds. The IRS offers resources and tools, including free filing options for eligible individuals, to assist in the process.
