When Can You File Your 2014 Taxes?

Yes, it's almost here. No, not Christmas but rather tax season. Some people are wondering when you can file your 2014 taxes in 2015. Some people believe that you can file as soon as the new years starts but that is actually not true. Even if you aren't waiting for a W2 from your employer, the IRS has to actually open up tax season, which typically starts between January 15th or so up till January 31st. Unfortunately, last year you could not start filing till January 31st, which had some people having to patiently (or impatiently) wait for a refund.

You may not be able to start your taxes right now or even at the first of the year. However, you can at least start getting prepared by having everything in order such as receipts and deductions. Once you get your W2 forms, and yes, some companies make you wait until the last moment, you can even use an online tax company like Turbo Tax in order to get started.
