..... Tax Day is coming, and if you are the sort who works best against a deadline, we can give you several to jot down on your calendar.

When is the filling deadline for 2025?

..... Taxes for 2024 are due for most of us by April 15, which falls on a Tuesday this year. [2025] If you don't expect to file by then, you can request a six-month extension

When do I get my refund?

..... If you filed electronically and chose to receive your refund by direct deposit, your refund will probably be issued within 21 days, the IRS says. If you mailed a paper return, the wait could be four weeks or longer.

What happens if I miss the tax deadline?

..... If you fail to file your federal tax return on time, the slandered penalty is a whopping 5% of any tax due for every month the return is late, up to 25% of the unpaid balance. If you file a return but fail to pay nay taxes you owe, or if you get an extension, you typically face a much smaller monthly penalty of 0.5% of any unpaid amount.

Are there exceptions to the April 15 tax deadline?
