tax season

Annual IRS deadline

Tax season is the period each year when individuals and businesses must file income tax returns, typically running from January through mid-April in the United States.

The phrase evokes the annual ritual of gathering documents, calculating deductions, and meeting deadlines: I'm buried in receipts—it's tax season.

Accountants work long hours during tax season; everyone else dreads it.
