Federal tax filing deadlines and extensions

2025 tax season: filings closed

Filings are closed for the 2025 tax season. We are not accepting 2025 tax returns or tax extension filings through our websites.

This closure applies to personal and business filings, including submission or resubmission. Sign-in, tax-year selection and correction instructions do not make 2025 filing available during the closure.

Filing is expected to reopen in mid-to-late January 2027.

The general instructions below apply only when filing is open and the relevant tax year is supported.


Federal filing deadlines vary by return type and tax year. Check IRS.gov for the current federal deadline that applies to your return. If you need more time to file, an extension must generally be submitted by the original federal due date. An extension gives more time to file; it does not extend the time to pay any tax due. For individual federal extensions, use Form 4868. Eligible business extensions generally use Form 7004. TaxExtension.com can help with an extension filing, account access, and extension status. This article does not provide tax-return preparation, amendment, estimated-payment, refund-election, or individualized tax advice. For those questions, use an official IRS resource or a qualified tax professional.
