The deadline for filing individual federal income tax returns for the 2024 tax year (the one to be filed in 2025) in the US was April 15, 2025. For those who needed more time, they could file Form 4868 to get an extension to file until October 15, 2025. However, any taxes owed were still due by the original April 15 deadline to avoid interest and penalties. So, specifically for the 2024 tax year:
- Regular tax filing deadline: April 15, 2025
- Extended filing deadline with Form 4868: October 15, 2025
For the upcoming 2025 tax year (to be filed in 2026), the key deadline is April 15, 2026. This means your 2025 taxes will be due April 15, 2026, unless you file for an extension.
