Important Dates to Remember: Tax Filing Season is Here!

As we approach the start of tax filing season, it's essential to mark your calendars for important deadlines. The Lee County Tax Collector's office wants to ensure that all residents are aware of these critical dates to avoid any potential penalties or fines.

The first deadline is January 28th, which marks the beginning of the 2023 tax filing season. This is the day when individual taxpayers can start submitting their returns and making payments for the previous year's taxes.

It's crucial to note that the IRS will begin accepting electronic filings on this date as well. If you're planning to file electronically, make sure to have all necessary documents ready and take advantage of this convenient option.
