Mark Your Calendar: Tax Deadlines You Can’t Miss in 2025!

Tax season has descended upon us once again, and with it comes the annual rush to meet IRS tax deadlines for the 2025 tax season, encompassing the 2024 tax year filings. As we navigate through this critical period, it is essential to stay informed about key dates and crucial information to avoid any missteps in the tax filing process. Let’s delve into the important points to remember for the upcoming tax season.

1. 2025 Tax Deadline for Tax Filing
   • The IRS tax deadline to file your tax return is set for Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
   • It’s worth noting that some states or areas may have their tax deadline extended due to natural disasters, so it’s advisable to check the IRS disaster relief page for specific details.
2. Tax Filing Postmark & E-File Deadline
   • The April 15 tax deadline pertains to the postmark date of mailed tax returns, not the receipt date by the IRS.
   • Similarly, e-filed taxes must be submitted by April 15 to meet the deadline.
3. HSA and IRA Contribution Deadline
   • Both the HSA and IRA contribution deadlines align with the tax filing deadline, offering savers additional time to make contributions and open new accounts.
4. Tax Deadline "Out of the Country" in 2024
   • If you are "out of the country," your tax filing and payment deadline is extended to Monday, June 16, 2025.
   • Eligibility criteria for this extended deadline include living and working outside the United States or serving in military or naval operations abroad.
5. Tax Extension Application Filing Deadline
   • If unable to file taxes by the April 15 deadline, you can apply for an IRS tax extension, which must also be postmarked by April 15.
   • Remember that an extension to file does not extend the time to pay taxes due, to avoid penalties.
6. Estimated Tax Payment Deadlines in 2025
   • For those making quarterly estimated tax payments, deadlines occur throughout the year based on payment schedules for contractual or self-employed income.
7. Tax Filing Start Date
   • The tax season officially commences on Monday, January 27, 2025, allowing you to start preparing your returns before submission.

As we approach the 2025 tax season, let’s stay informed and organized to meet all IRS tax deadlines promptly. Remember to file your taxes accurately and on time to avoid any potential issues. Stay prepared, utilize tax software efficiently, and seek professional assistance if needed to navigate the intricate tax filing process successfully. Prepare for tax season diligently, stay organized, and make informed financial decisions for a smoother tax filing experience.
