The federal income tax return for most taxpayers was due on April 15, 2025. For Americans living abroad, the filing deadline was extended to June 16, 2025, but any taxes owed were still due by April 15, 2025. If you wanted to request an extension to file your 2024 taxes, the extended filing deadline was October 15, 2025. In general for the 2024 tax year (filed in 2025):

  • Regular tax filing deadline was April 15, 2025.
  • Extended filing deadline with Form 4868 was October 15, 2025.
  • Taxes owed were due by April 15, 2025 (or earlier).

For taxpayers affected by federally declared disasters or specific regional extensions, additional extended deadlines were available, such as October 15 or November 3, 2025, depending on the location. Therefore, the standard due date for federal income tax filing and payment in 2025 (for the 2024 tax year) was April 15, 2025.
