Tax Due Dates

Key Filing Season Dates

It’s important for taxpayers to note these updated filing season dates for the current year:

For Calendar Year Filers (Most Common):

• File by April 15, 2024: This is the national due date for filing your 2023 tax return.

For Fiscal Year Filers:

• File by the 15th Day of the Fourth Month After Your Fiscal Year Ends: If this date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is extended to the next business day.

Additional Information:

• See Publication 509, Tax Calendars: This publication provides detailed information on tax filing deadlines and other crucial dates.

• Need More Time?: If you can’t meet the filing deadline, you can request a 6-month extension using Form 4868. Remember, an extension to file doesn’t extend the time to pay your taxes.

Special Notes for Specific Groups:

Members of the Military:

• Extended Deadlines: If you’re serving in a combat zone or a contingency operation, or are hospitalized due to an injury from service, you get at least 180 days after leaving the combat zone to file and pay taxes.

• Disaster or Military Action: In case of a presidentially declared disaster or a terroristic or military action, you might have up to a year to file and pay taxes, based on the Service’s specifications.

• Notification Requirement: Notify the IRS of your status for qualifying combat zone relief. See ‘Notifying the IRS by Email about Combat Zone Service’ for more details.

Haven’t Filed Your Tax Return Lately?

• Act Now: If you’ve missed filing your federal income tax return for this year or previous years, file your return as soon as possible.

Keep in Mind:

• Your return is considered timely filed if it’s properly addressed, postmarked, and deposited in the mail by the due date.

• Paying any owed taxes by the original due date is crucial to avoid penalties, even if you file for an extension.
