The IRS announced it will officially begin accepting 2023 tax returns on Monday, Jan. 29.

But although official processing won’t begin until that date, the agency said filers should not wait to start working on their returns. Most companies that provide tax-filing services have already made 2023 tax year forms available and will simply hold them until the IRS is ready to begin processing.

The agency said IRS Free File for taxpayers with annual incomes of $79,000 or less will also be available on IRS.gov starting Jan. 12. However, the new IRS Direct File pilot, which will allow eligible taxpayers to file their taxes online for free directly with the IRS, won’t be fully rolled out until mid-March.

“As our transformation efforts take hold, taxpayers will continue to see marked improvement in IRS operations in the upcoming filing season,” said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. “IRS employees are working hard to make sure that new funding is used to help taxpayers by making the process of preparing and filing taxes easier.”

Among the improvements the agency is touting are expanded in-person services via Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs); increased help available on the toll-free hotline, and an expanded customer callback feature designed to significantly reduce wait times.

The agency said it expects more than 128.7 million individual tax returns to be filed by the April 15 tax deadline this year.

Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajaković is likely facing a hefty fine for his criticism of the referees following Tuesday night’s 132-131 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. But at least he got his money’s worth − and maybe a new celebrity fan − for his efforts.

Rajaković’s tirade came at the beginning of his postgame news conference when a reporter hardly had a chance to get through the first question.

‘That’s outgrageous. What happened tonight is completely B.S.,’ Rajaković began. ‘This is shame. Shame for the referees, shame for the league to allow this. Twenty-three free throws for them, and we get two free throws in the fourth quarter?’

But the free throw discrepancy − 36 to 13 for the game − was what really set Rajaković off.

‘They had to win tonight?’ he asked rhetorically. ‘If that’s the case just let us know so we don’t show up for the game. Just give them a win. But that was not fair tonight.’

Rajaković’s rant even impressed Canadian music star Drake, who reposted a video of the postgame press conference on an Instagram story with the caption, ‘Toronto has a real one as their coach this guy is a GUYZER.’

What were the key moments in the victory and how did they slow down quarterback Michael Penix and the high-powered offense of the Huskies?

Amid the celebration, there were already questions about next year and the future of Michigan and also Harbaugh, who could be enticed to return to the NFL in a quest to win a Super Bowl with the job done at his alma mater.

There will be plenty of contenders for the crown next season amid a new landscape in the sport with the expansion of the Big Ten and SEC and the effective disbanding of the Pac-12. Who will be the biggest challengers?

Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg address these topics and more in this season’s final version of the College Football Fix.

The college football season is complete and Michigan has been crowned national champions. Now the coaches get their say in where the rest of the teams will be ranked in the final US LBM Coaches Poll of the season.

National runner-up Washington finishes second, but its position wasn’t unanimous among voters. After an Orange Bowl matchup between the teams, Georgia rose three spots to end up at No. 3 with Florida State falling three places to No. 6. Texas and Alabama took the fourth and fifth spots. There was a wide disparity between all four teams among the ballots given the results of the postseason.

Below are each of those ballots from all 63 coaches who comprise the panel of the last Top 25 ranking of the season.

The Chicago Bears are making a major overhaul on offense, firing coordinator Luke Getsy and four more assistant coaches on Wednesday.

The Bears announced they had fired Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, running backs coach Omar Young and assistant tight ends coach Tim Zetts. Getsy called plays for the Bears the last two seasons.

The Bears finished 27th in passing offense, but second in the league in rushing, behind quarterback Justin Fields. They finished in the bottom third of the league in completion percentage, touchdown passes, passing yards per attempt, and its quarterbacks were sacked 50 times in 2023.

The team has not said whether Matt Eberflus, who has a 10-24 record in his two seasons as the head coach, would return in 2024. But ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Eberflus is expected to return for the 2024 season.

The Bears have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and still need to decide if they will decline the fifth-year option on Fields, who has a 10-28 record as a starter in his three seasons.

The grades are in across the Bowl Subdivision.

Every year, USA TODAY Sports caps the college football season by handing out report cards for all 133 teams in the FBS, with grades ranging from the rare A+ all the way down to F.

For the first time, these season grades do not feature a team that pulled the dreaded F grade. Instead, the worst grade is the D- handed out to nine teams, including underachieving Florida.

Only seven teams were given an A+, led by national champion Michigan and runner-up Washington. Others to get this elite grade include Arizona, which won 10 games behind Jedd Fisch, and Northwestern, which shocked the Big Ten with an 8-5 finish.

The teams that landed on the A line include 13-1 Liberty, 10-5 New Mexico State, 12-2 Texas and 12-2 Alabama. While the Crimson Tide are unsatisfied with anything less than a national title, this year’s team overcame a terrible start to reach the College Football Playoff before losing to Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

The grades are assigned on a relative curve based on preseason expectations weighed against in-season performance, with attention to special circumstances such as injuries or marquee wins.

For example, Kansas earns an A grade for going 9-4 with a win against Oklahoma and a bowl victory against UNLV. But Clemson draws a B- for also going 9-4 because of the Tigers’ annual expectations to compete for the playoff and for the team’s continued struggles on offense.

LeBron James might have to wait a while before getting his own 10-part Netflix docuseries.

Instead, the NBA scoring king will reportedly be a part of a new project where Netflix follows the journeys of five NBA players in a similar format of ‘Quarterback.’

There is no title or release date revealed yet for the NBA docuseries. USA TODAY Sports reached out to Netflix about the project and had not heard back at the time of publication.

The NBA series would follow the entertainment platform’s success with sports-related content, including the Formula 1 docuseries ‘Drive to Survive,’ the USWNT docuseries ‘Under Pressure’ and the 10-part docuseries ‘The Last Dance,’ which chronicled Michael Jordan’s six titles with the Chicago Bulls.

Here’s more about the players who are reportedly featured in the NBA Netflix docuseries:

LeBron James — Los Angeles Lakers

James, widely regarded as the best player in the NBA, is in his 21st year in the league and has been named an All-Star 19 times. He was drafted by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, after storming the nation at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

The husband, father, and social justice advocate spent time with the Miami Heat, where he won his first two championships, went back to the Cavaliers and won a title there, and has been on the Los Angeles Lakers since 2018, winning a championship in the 2020 bubble.

Jayson Tatum — Boston Celtics

Tatum has taken his team to the playoffs in each of his first six seasons, all with the Boston Celtics. He was named the MVP of the 2022 Eastern Conference finals — and fittingly the first recipient of the honor named after Larry Bird — when he had 25.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals in the seven-game series. The former Duke standout is a four-time All-Star who is averaging 27.5 points per game this season.

Tatum’s then 4-year-old son, Deuce, became a ‘star’ during the Celtics’ 2022 playoff run.

Jimmy Butler — Miami Heat

Butler is a 13-year veteran who was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and really found his footing when he joined the Miami Heat in 2019. His profile got a boost last season when he led the team to the NBA Finals as the No. 8 seed. He was the Eastern Conference finals MVP after putting up 24.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game in the seven-game series.

This season, he’s averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

Butler is a six-time All-Star who famously sold $20 coffees to his fellow NBA players in the bubble.

Anthony Edwards — Minnesota Timberwolves

The youngest player of the group, Edwards has become the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves following in the footsteps of Kevin Garnett. The 22-year-old was drafted out of Georgia. He started 55 games his rookie year and has started every game he’s played in since.

Last season, he was named to his first All-Star Game and notched 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per outing. This year, he’s putting up a career-best 26.2 points and 4.9 assists.

Edwards faced controversy last month when a woman leaked texts of him allegedly telling her to get an abortion. He has been fined for previous incidents, including using homophobic language and swinging a chair after a playoff loss.

Domantas Sabonis — Sacramento Kings

Sabonis was drafted by the Orlando Magic in 2016 and was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he only spent one season. He then played for the Indiana Pacers, where he was named an All-Star twice.

Sabonis, who plays both power forward and center, joined the Sacramento Kings during the 2021-2022 season and captured another All-Star nod last year when he led the league with 12.3 rebounds per game. This year, he has the most boards of all players again with 12.8 per outing.

The Kings made a splash last season by returning to the playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons, ending the longest playoff drought in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Police in South Florida say a man fatally shot a 30-year-old Buffalo Bills fan during an altercation outside Hard Rock Stadium after the Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins in the final regular season game.

As Dylan Brody Isaacs and his friends were returning to their vehicle after the game Sunday night, they had an altercation with the driver of another vehicle, Miami Gardens police said in a news release.

The driver pulled out a gun and fired shots at Isaacs, who died at the scene, police said.

The man then fled in an older model Honda Accord, which was located in Palm Beach County the next day. The vehicle was seized as part of the investigation. Detectives have identified and interviewed a suspect, but that person’s name hasn’t been released.

The investigation is ongoing.

A GoFundMe page had raised nearly $90,000 as of Wednesday to cover the costs of a funeral for Isaacs and for transporting his body to Six Nations, the largest First Nation reserve in Canada. Isaacs lived in Hollywood, Florida, according to his Facebook page.

The Alabama Crimson Tide’s head coach, Nick Saban, is retiring, according to ESPN’s Chris Low. Saban took over Alabama’s program in 2007 and just completed his 17th season with the program.

Saban, who is 72, has built a dominant program at Alabama and won six national titles and established a legacy to be proud of. Saban will go down as one of the greatest college football coaches of all time.

Saban was asked earlier this season when he appeared on ESPN’s College Game Day about his possible retirement plans and said, “I’ve always said if you’re thinking about retirement, you’re probably already retired, and I’m not there yet.”

College football fans took to X, formally known as Twitter, to share their thoughts of Saban’s retirement.
