Here's a look at key dates in the tax filing season, including deadlines to file, when to request extensions and how long until you get your refund.

The 2025 tax season is here, and companies are required to provide required documents by Jan. 31. Here's how early you can file.

A tax refund is money returned to you by the US Treasury if you overpaid your state or federal taxes during the previous year. For instance, if your employer withheld more taxes than necessary from your paycheck or if you're self-employed and overpaid your quarterly estimated taxes, then you can get that money back via the refund.

As the tax season approaches, it's crucial for businesses to submit wage statements and information returns to the IRS by January 31.
