Tax Day for the 2024 tax year is Tuesday, April 15, 2025. This is the deadline to file your federal income tax return or request an extension. If you need more time to file, you can submit Form 4868 to request an extension, which will give you until October 15, 2025, to file your return. However, it’s important to note that an extension to file does not grant an extension to pay any taxes owed; payments are still due by April 15, 2025.
The state tax filing deadline typically aligns with the federal deadline. Therefore, your state tax return should also be filed by April 15, 2025. However, it’s always a good idea to confirm any state-specific deadlines or changes by checking the Department of Revenue’s official website.
Given that today is March 30, 2025, you have approximately two weeks to prepare and file your tax returns. To ensure a smooth filing process and avoid potential scams, consider using reputable tax preparation services or consulting with a tax professional. The IRS emphasizes the importance of using trusted tax preparers to safeguard your personal information and ensure accurate filings.
