When is the deadline to file a federal income tax return 1040 with the IRS?

For the 2024 tax year, the deadline to file your federal income tax return, Form 1040, with the IRS is April 15, 2025.

If you're unable to file by the due date, you can request a six-month extension by filing Form 4868 before April 15, 2025. This will extend your filing deadline to October 15, 2025. However, remember that the extension is for filing only and does not extend the payment deadline. Any taxes owed must be paid by April 15, 2025, to avoid penalties and interest.
