If you requested an extension to file your tax return after the April 15, 2025, due date, the extended deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 15. If you have the information you need, you may want to file now. There’s no advantage to waiting, and last-minute filing may lead to worry. If you’re concerned about paying any tax owed, the IRS offers short- and long-term payment plans, as well as installment agreements, to taxpayers who qualify. It’s important to act quickly if you owe because any amount that was due April 15 accrues interest until the balance is paid. As soon as possible, gather your 2024 tax year records and contact us for a tax preparation appointment or to ask questions you may have. © 2025
