When are taxes due in 2025? How to request an extension
The deadline to file a federal return with the IRS is April 15, 2025.
You can request an extension by the April tax filing due date if you need more time, and this gives you until October 15 to file without any penalties. The IRS notes that an extension to file is not an extension to pay, meaning that payments are still due by April 15, even if an extension is requested.

What happens if I miss the tax filing deadline?
The IRS recommends filing as soon as you can to minimize penalties.
There is a standard penalty of 5% of the tax due for every month the return is late (up to 25% of the unpaid balance), according to USA TODAY. A smaller penalty of 0.5% is added if you file a return without paying any taxes owed, or if you get an extension on your return but fail to pay your owed taxes.
What is Ohio's tax filing deadline?
