The tax deadline for filing individual federal income tax returns in the United States is usually April 15 each year. If April 15 falls on a weekend or a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day. For the 2024 tax year, the deadline to file taxes without an extension is April 15, 2025. Taxpayers can file for an extension using Form 4868, which extends the filing deadline to October 15, 2025. For those required to file business taxes, such as partnerships or S corporations, the deadline is typically March 15, with extensions possible as well. In other countries, deadlines differ. For example, in Germany, the tax return deadline for the 2024 tax year is July 31, 2025, with extensions available if a tax advisor is involved. To summarize key deadlines in the US:
- Individual tax returns due: April 15, 2025
- Extended individual tax returns due: October 15, 2025
- Partnership and S-corp returns due: March 15, 2025
And in Germany:
- 2024 tax return due by July 31, 2025
Deadlines can change if they fall on weekends or holidays, and extensions can be requested to postpone filing and payment within given limits.
