DELAWARE — Delaware’s Division of Revenue is set to start processing individual income tax returns for the year 2023 on January 23, 2024. However, due to fraud prevention measures implemented to safeguard Delaware taxpayers, refunds will not begin to be issued until February 15, 2024.
As the tax season looms, taxpayers are advised to file their taxes electronically, as paper returns have a longer processing time. Electronic filing can be done for free at tax.delaware.gov, or through other electronic filing programs. Opting for refunds via direct deposit is also recommended to expedite the refund delivery process.
The filing deadline for Delaware Personal Income Tax for this year falls on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. It should be noted that Delaware does not maintain reciprocity agreements with other states. Consequently, non-residents who have worked in Delaware are required to file a Delaware tax return. Similarly, Delaware residents working out-of-state must file returns with both Delaware and the state where they were employed.
By law, employers in Delaware are required to provide their employees with their 2023 W-2 employment forms by January 31, 2024. Employees who do not receive their W-2 forms by this date are advised to contact their employer.
For more information regarding filing processes, please visit the Delaware Division of Revenue’s website. As the tax season unfolds, taxpayers are encouraged to stay informed and take necessary steps to ensure a smooth and timely process.
