The end of the 2025 tax season for most Americans is April 15, 2025. If you cannot file before that date, you still have options.

1. You can file for an extension. Filing an extension gives you an additional six months to October 15, 2025, to submit a complete return. If you believe you will owe taxes, you must estimate how much you owe and pay the amount due with your extension form. 
2. You can file a late return without an extension. If you do not owe taxes or you expect a refund, you may not owe a penalty. If you owe taxes, you may be charged a penalty for filing late.
3. If you do not owe taxes or you expect a refund, you may not owe a penalty. Still, it may be best to file as soon as you can to receive your refund or to ensure you don’t owe a balance. See below for more information on ways to file a return for free and claiming your tax refund.
