Federal taxes for the 2024 tax year, which are filed in 2025, are due on April 15, 2025. This is the regular deadline for filing federal income tax returns and for paying any tax owed to the IRS. If you file for an extension using Form 4868, you can extend the filing deadline to October 15, 2025, but any taxes owed must still be paid by April 15 to avoid interest and penalties. If April 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. For U.S. citizens living abroad, there is an automatic extension until June 15, 2025, to file the return, but taxes owed are still due by April 15. In summary:

• April 15, 2025: Regular federal tax filing and payment deadline.
• June 15, 2025: Automatic filing extension for expats.
• October 15, 2025: Extended filing deadline if you filed for extension by the original deadline.

These dates apply to individual federal taxes for the 2024 tax year, filed in 2025.
