Federal Income Tax Deadlines for Individuals
Individual Filers - including employees, retirees, self-employed individuals and independent contractors
- April 15th - Tax day. The tax deadline typically falls on April 15 each year, but it can be delayed if it falls on a weekend or holiday. Missing the tax deadline can have consequences like penalties and interest.
Helpful Hint:
"If you don't file your personal income tax return on time, the IRS may file one for you using the information it has for the year. This return may not account for all the tax deductions you qualify for, and it is definitely not going to be done in your favor."

April 15th - Last day to submit Form 4868 and request an extension. This date is the final opportunity to file Form 4868 to extend the deadline for your individual income tax return. If you're not prepared to file by tax day, ensure you submit an extension request, allowing you to postpone filing a completed return until October 15th. However, keep in mind that even with an extension, any taxes owed must still be paid by the April deadline.

April 15th - Last DAY to contribute to IRA and HSA for the tax year. For those filing individual income tax returns, this is the final opportunity to add to your IRA or HSA for the tax year. Contributions for the previous tax year are typically not allowed after this date.
