Tax Filing Deadlines: A Comprehensive Guide
When and How to Submit Your Return
To ensure timely filing, your tax return must meet the following criteria:
Mail-In Returns
For mail-in returns, the envelope must be properly addressed and postmarked by the due date. Simply depositing it in the mail is not sufficient.
Form 8809 Extension
Form 8809 allows taxpayers to request an extension of up to six months to file information returns.
Form 4868 Extension
Individuals can use Form 4868 to apply for a six-month extension to file Form 1040. The deadline for filing Form 4868 is April 15, 2024 (or April 17, 2024 for residents of Maine or Massachusetts).
IRS Free File
The IRS offers a free e-filing service for taxpayers who meet certain income requirements. This option ensures the timely and secure submission of tax returns.
