Important Updates

IRS: Act now to file, pay or request an extension

With the April 15 tax deadline fast approaching, Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers there is still time to file their federal income tax return electronically and request direct deposit of any refund. Filing electronically reduces tax return errors as tax software does the calculations, flags common errors and prompts taxpayers for missing information. Most taxpayers qualify for electronic filing at no cost and, when they choose direct deposit, usually receive their refund within 21 days.

IRS reminder to U.S. taxpayers living, working abroad: File 2024 tax return by June 16

The Internal Revenue Service today reminded taxpayers living and working abroad that they have until Monday, June 16, 2025, to file their 2024 federal income tax return and pay any tax due. This deadline applies to both U.S. citizens and resident aliens abroad, including those with dual citizenship. In general, on the regular due date of their return, a U.S. citizen or resident alien residing overseas or in the military on duty outside the U.S. is allowed a two-month extension to file without needing to ask for it. If they use a calendar year to file their return, as virtually all individual taxpayers do, the regular due date of their 2024 return is April 15, 2025. The automatic extended due date is June 16, 2025, pushed back from the usual June 15 because that date falls on a Sunday this year. Even with the tax-filing extension, interest will apply to any 2024 tax payments received after April 15. This means that unpaid tax-year 2024 tax balances will begin accruing interest, currently at the rate of 7% per year, compounded daily, after April 15, 2025.
