(BPT) - With the tax return deadline just weeks away on April 15, experts say it's essential to file as soon as possible. People may be delaying their filing due to confusion around IRS layoffs and uncertainty around if and when new tax proposals will pass. There is no reason to wait to file since these proposals will not impact the 2024 taxes you are filing now. The IRS will maintain essential operations throughout tax season — so why wait to get your refund?

Last tax season the average tax refund was over $3,000. In fact, IRS latest filing statistics for week ending March 7, 2025 reports that refunds are up 5.7% over last year with an average refund amount of $3,324. With rising costs and current economic concerns, there's no reason to delay. File your taxes now to get closer to your refund.
