It’s officially time to start filing your taxes!!!

📣 IRS E-FILE OPENING DAY — LET’S CLEAR UP THE CONFUSION 📣

The IRS officially opens January 27, 2025 to begin accepting e-filed returns 🗓️
Before you rush to file, here are the biggest myths I hear every tax season ⬇️

❌ Myth #1: “If I file early, I’ll get my refund faster.”
✅ Reality: Early filing doesn’t guarantee a faster refund. Timing depends on IRS processing, credits claimed (EITC/CTC), and—most importantly—accuracy.

❌ Myth #2: “Refunds go out the same day e-file opens.”
✅ Reality: The IRS accepts returns first, then processes them. Most refunds start arriving 1–3 weeks after opening day.

❌ Myth #3: “I should file ASAP—even if I’m missing documents.”
✅ Reality: Rushing leads to mistakes, delays, IRS letters, and possible audits. Accuracy > speed every time.

❌ Myth #4: “EITC/Child Tax Credit refunds come early.”
✅ Reality: By law, refunds with EITC or ACTC can’t be released before mid-February, no matter when you file.

💡 What you SHOULD do right now:
✔️ Gather all documents (W-2s, 1099s, childcare, tuition, self-employment income)
✔️ Set up your IRS ID.me account
✔️ Work with a professional who knows the rules—not just a fast filer

📌 I focus on maximizing your refund legally, not rushing returns just to be first in line.
