Quick notes and “what ifs”
- If you file an extension: You must still pay your estimated 2025 tax by April 15, 2026; the extension only gives you more time to file paperwork, not to pay.
- If you live in a federally declared disaster area: The IRS may postpone your due date, so check the latest relief notices on IRS.gov.
- State taxes: Many states follow the federal April 15 date, but some have different deadlines—check your state’s revenue or tax agency site.
If you tell me your country or state, I can help narrow down the exact tax due date rules for your situation.
TL;DR: For most U.S. individuals, your 2025 taxes are due April 15, 2026; if you extend, you have until October 15, 2026, but payments are still due in April.
