Tax Office guidance

Find the calendar that applies to you.

Use this guide to reach the current IRS source for federal filing and payment dates. Always verify the deadline for your return, payment, location, and circumstances.

Why we link to the source

Federal deadlines can differ by return type, payment type, weekends, holidays, disaster relief, and other circumstances. Rather than reproducing a calendar that may become outdated, this page directs you to current IRS guidance.

Individuals and estimated payments

Review the IRS filing page for individual return dates and the official Form 1040-ES information for estimated-payment requirements. An extension to file generally does not extend the time to pay.

Businesses, employers, and special relief

Business and employment-tax obligations vary by entity, return, deposit schedule, and reporting duty. Check the IRS Tax Calendar and the instructions for your specific form. Taxpayers affected by federally recognized disasters should also review current IRS relief notices.
