The tax filing deadline in the United States for individuals is April 15th, unless that date falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case the deadline is extended to the following business day. For example, if April 15th falls on a Saturday, then the tax filing deadline would be Monday, April 17th.
It is important to note that taxpayers can request an extension to file their taxes, which would extend the deadline to October 15th. However, an extension to file does not extend the deadline to pay any taxes owed. Taxpayers who do not pay their taxes by the original filing deadline may be subject to penalties and interest.
If you are unable to complete your tax return by the deadline, you should file for an extension as soon as possible. To request an extension, you must file Form 4868 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the original tax filing deadline. If you are unable to pay your taxes in full, you should still file your tax return or request an extension and pay as much as you can to avoid penalties and interest.
It is also important to note that some states may have different tax filing deadlines. Taxpayers should check with their state's tax authority to confirm their tax filing deadline.
