LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The IRS just announced the start of the tax filing season, it's Monday, January 23rd.
The agency expects over 168 million returns will be filed by this year's deadline on April 18th, three days after the usual April 15th deadline, because of a holiday weekend. If you file electronically and expect a refund, the IRS says you should get a direct deposit within 21 days, barring any issues.
