When Is Tax Day 2026? Filing Deadline, Extensions & Key Dates

"When are taxes due?" — here are the key 2026 tax deadlines for filing and paying.

Tax Day 2026: April 15

April 15, 2026 is the deadline to file your 2025 tax return and pay any tax owed. If April 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day.

Extension to October 15

Request an automatic extension by April 15 to get until October 15, 2026 to file. Note: an extension extends the *filing* deadline, not the *payment* deadline. You still owe interest and possibly penalties on unpaid tax after April 15.
