Tax Filing Extension Deadline: What You Need to Know

Don't Miss the October 16th Deadline

Individual Tax Filers, Regardless of Income, Can File for an Extension

With the tax filing deadline approaching on April 18, 2023, the IRS has issued a reminder to taxpayers to file their extensions on time. An extension grants taxpayers an additional six months to file their returns, pushing the due date to October 16, 2023.

The extension process is straightforward and free for individual tax filers, regardless of their income level. By requesting an extension, taxpayers have more time to gather their necessary documents and ensure accuracy in their filings.

To file for an extension, taxpayers can use the IRS's Free File service. This online platform enables taxpayers to file their federal tax returns for free, including the necessary extension form.

Include Payment Information on Your Return

When filing their 2023 returns, taxpayers should include the amount of any payments they made with Form 4868 on the appropriate line of their tax return.

Key Dates to Remember

* April 18, 2023: Original tax filing deadline * October 16, 2023: Tax filing extension deadline
