E-filing is currently closed — but it’s the perfect time to get ready.

You can’t file just yet, but tax season starts soon. The IRS is expected to open filing in late January 2026, so use this time to:

• Gather your W-2s, 1099s, and other tax forms
• Review last year’s return and any big life changes
• Estimate your refund or taxes owed
• Decide whether you’ll file yourself or with a tax pro
