For the 2025 tax year in the U.S., the main federal income tax deadline is April 15, 2026, for most individual taxpayers.

Quick Scoop

  • April 15, 2026 – Last day to file your 2025 federal individual income tax return and pay any tax due, unless you get an extension.
  • If you file Form 4868 for an automatic extension, you generally have until October 15, 2026 to file the return, but the tax still has to be paid by April 15, 2026.
  • If you’re a U.S. taxpayer living abroad, you typically get an automatic 2‑month filing extension to June 15, 2026, but your payment due date is still April 15, 2026.

Think of it like this: April 15 is “pay day” for your 2025 taxes; October 15 is just “paperwork day” if you requested more time to file.

Also note: some states have their own deadlines, and places with no state income tax (like Texas and Florida) just follow the federal calendar for federal returns.

TL;DR: For most people asking “when is the taxes deadline,” the answer for this season is April 15, 2026, with an optional filing extension to October 15, 2026 if you request it in time.
