The deadline to file your 2024 tax return (the tax return you will file in 2025 for income earned in 2024) is April 15, 2025, in the United States. If you need more time, you can request an extension by filing Form 4868, which extends the deadline to October 15, 2025. A final extension can be requested for special circumstances up to December 15, 2025, but any taxes owed are still due by April 15 to avoid interest and penalties. The IRS begins accepting 2024 tax returns in late January 2025.
If the inquiry is about another country, such as the Netherlands, the tax return for 2024 should be filed by May 1, 2025, with possible extensions to September 1. If living abroad, the deadline may be extended to July 1, 2025. Employers usually provide the necessary documents by the end of February.
In summary, the deadline depends on jurisdiction:
- For the USA 2024 tax year: April 15, 2025 (extension to October 15, 2025 possible)
- For the Netherlands 2024 tax year: May 1, 2025 (extension available)
If clarification is needed for a specific country or tax year, please specify.
