The start of the 2015 individual tax filing will not end up being delayed due to Congress’ December enactment of the extender legislation, the IRS announced in News Release IR-2014-119.

The IRS will be accepting electronic returns and processing paper returns on January 20 according to the release. The IRS also made no mention of a staggered start of the season as was true recently, where some taxpayers were unable to file initially and had to wait until a later date in tax season to begin filing.
