Tax Season is now open for all United States citizens who have to send their Tax Return to the IRS. Remember that although the Tax Season lasts until mid-April, it does not mean that we have to wait until then to send the documentation.
Submitting the Tax Return late can result in fines and penalties from the IRS. Therefore, to avoid problems of this kind we should send the Tax Return as soon as possible. There is no apparent advantage to sending this documentation later than usual.
So, as soon as we have the documentation available, we should do it. This way we will not have any problems. Still, there are a couple of states that may send the IRS your Tax Return documentation later. If you live in one of these two states, you will have a little extra time.
Which states have extra time for the IRS Tax Return?
Only two states have the ability to send the Tax Return a little later without the need to request an extension of time. These two states are Maine and Massachusetts. If you are a citizen of one of these two states, the Tax Season deadline in 2024 will be slightly different.
The tax deadline is April 15, 2024 – except for residents of Maine and Massachusetts, who due to state holidays have until April 17 to file their #IRS returns and pay any tax due. https://t.co/pXN7UqUuva pic.twitter.com/KZKcDt4Ryy

To be exact, United States taxpayers from these two states, Maine and Massachusetts, can submit their paperwork until April 17, 2024. Although the deadline for the rest is the 15th of the same month, these two States extend the calendar a bit.
As we said before, this does not imply that we have to wait until that date to send all the documentation. The best thing to do is to do it with time in advance, so that we will obtain the corresponding Tax Refund faster.
How to get the Tax Refund faster?
The fastest way to obtain the Tax Refund is to send the Tax Return as soon as possible. It is also advisable to send all the documentation electronically, as this will speed up the process.
On the other hand, it is also very important to activate Direct Deposit. This collection method makes the IRS send the payment before or we get it before. Also, it is essential to send all the documentation before the end of the Tax Season.
Finally, something that is also very important is to send the documentation without errors. Any error in the accounts or in the documentation sent will cause the IRS to stop sending the Tax Refund.
