The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is reminding all taxpayers that the deadline to file 2024 federal income tax returns is Monday, April 15, 2025. With just days remaining, individuals, business owners, and tax professionals are being urged to act quickly to avoid penalties and ensure compliance.
At Bizora, we work closely with small business owners and CPAs to stay on top of critical tax deadlines. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming tax deadline—and how to file on time, even if you can’t pay in full.
The April 15 filing deadline applies to:
If you live in a federally declared disaster area, you may have until May 1, 2025, to file. Check the IRS’s disaster relief page to see if your ZIP code qualifies.
Even if you can’t pay your full tax bill by April 15, the IRS strongly encourages you to file on time to avoid the failure-to-file penalty, which is significantly higher than the penalty for late payment.
Options include:
If you’re not ready to file, you can request an automatic six-month extension using Form 4868. This will move your filing deadline to October 15, 2025, but does not extend your time to pay.
