when is tax return due 2025

For the 2024 tax year (the return you file in 2025), the standard U.S. federal individual income tax return (Form 1040) is due April 15, 2025 for most calendar‑year filers, unless that date is changed because of a weekend, holiday, or special IRS relief.

Key 2025 tax return dates

• Standard deadline for 2024 individual federal returns: April 15, 2025.

• If you request an extension (Form 4868), the filing deadline typically moves to October 15, 2025 , but any tax you owe is still due by April 15, 2025.

• Most individual taxpayers are calendar‑year filers, so these dates apply to the vast majority of people.

What “due in 2025” usually means

When people ask “when is tax return due 2025,” they are almost always talking about:

• Filing a 2024 federal return during the 2025 filing season , by April 15, 2025.

• Paying any remaining 2024 tax owed by that same date to avoid interest and late‑payment penalties.

If you are in a special situation (live abroad, affected by a disaster, or use a fiscal year), the deadline can shift, and you should check the latest IRS guidance or a tax professional.
