Taxes in the United States are something we should never forget every year, since we must send the Tax Return to the IRS explaining our annual income. But it is true that sometimes we might have a little extra time to be able to send this documentation.
In the usual cases, the deadline for sending the Tax Return to the IRS is in April. In this year 2024, this was on April 15 or on the 17th day of the same month for some states in particular. But what we should keep in mind is that the deadline day when we should have sent this was already some months ago.
However, some Americans have the possibility of paying their taxes and sending the Tax Return to the IRS a little later than usual. While it may not seem like it is too important, having a few more months to send in the paperwork can be vital for many citizens. So knowing that we may be able to do so can be a relief.
Until when can I send the Tax Return to the IRS?
The truth is that there is bad news and good news in this regard. On the one hand, the bad news is that for everyone the deadline to send the Tax Return to the IRS was in April unless you asked for an extension of time. The good news is that even with that time over it is possible to send the documentation, although it could mean that we pay a penalty.
Knowing this, we should keep in mind the following deadlines for sending the Tax Return to the IRS:
- April 15th, 2024: Regular deadline day for United States citizens sending the Tax Return.
- April 16th or April 17th, 2024: Some states, exceptionally, had a few extra days to send the documentation in this year.
- October 15th, 2024: Americans who requested an extension of time to send the Tax Return to the IRS have a deadline of October 15th.
After that deadline, there are no further extensions to send the documentation. However, not all Americans who requested this can get the extension of time. It is not enough to request the extension of time to send the Tax Return to the IRS, so it is possible that even having requested it, we may have problems if our request has not been accepted.
