Irs Extension 2023 Deadline

Extended Filing Deadline Not an Extension to Pay Taxes

Pay Taxes by April 18, 2023

File for Extension if Needed

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) urges taxpayers to remember that the extended filing deadline of April 18, 2023, does not extend the deadline for paying taxes owed.

Individuals who cannot file their federal tax return by the April 18 deadline should request an extension by filing Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. This form allows taxpayers to extend their filing deadline until October 16, 2023.

However, it's crucial to note that an extension to file does not grant an extension to pay taxes. Taxpayers must still estimate their tax liability and pay any taxes owed by the April 18 deadline. Failure to do so may result in penalties and interest.
