Individual Tax Return Extension Due Date 2023

File Your Taxes for Free: Here's How!

Important Deadlines and Extensions

The deadline to file your federal tax return is rapidly approaching on April 18, 2023. Don't panic if you can't meet this deadline! You can request an extension that will grant you an extended time to file your taxes until October 16, 2023.

Individuals: No Income Limit for Extension

The good news is that individual tax filers, regardless of their income, are eligible to request an extension. This means that everyone has the opportunity to take advantage of this additional time to complete their tax returns.

Avoid Underpayment Penalties

To avoid underpayment penalties, the IRS suggests that you pay at least 90% of your estimated tax liability for the current year or 100% of the tax shown on your previous year's tax return. Paying all or part of your taxes electronically by the original deadline will automatically trigger the extension process.

Remember that filing for an extension does not grant you additional time to pay your taxes. The extended deadline only applies to filing your tax return.

Easy e-File Option

Convenience is key! To make the process simple and stress-free, the IRS offers free e-file options for individuals. This allows you to file your taxes electronically and securely without the hassle of mailing or delivering paper forms.
