KEY THINGS TO KNOW FOR TAX YEAR 2025
TAXATION ADVISORY
Tax season officially begins on Monday, January 26, 2026, when the IRS starts accepting and processing federal income tax returns for the 2025 tax year. For most individual taxpayers, Tax Day will be Wednesday, April 15, 2026. This is the date that your tax return or extension request must be submitted electronically (e-filed) or post-marked to be considered filed on time by the IRS. If you request an automatic six month extension, you must file your return by Thursday, October 15, 2026. Since this does not extend the time to pay, you would owe interest on any tax due and penalties may apply.
A few exceptions apply to the filing deadlines:
- if you live outside the US and if your main place of business is outside the US
- if you are on military or naval service outside the US
- if you qualify under any federally declared disaster relief
Since states do not automatically adopt the Federal regulations, please refer to the State Tax Resources link for further information.
For business taxpayers, Tax Day will depend on the type of business entity.
