Don't Panic! But Tax Day is Almost Here!
The clock’s ticking, but if you haven’t filed your taxes yet—don’t panic. You still have time to get it done for 2025.
Tax season officially kicked off in late January, and many folks have already checked it off their to-do list. But if you’re one of those people who likes to wait until the last minute, you’re definitely not alone.
Here’s a quick rundown of the key info you need to know to file your 2024 tax return before it’s too late.
So, when is the deadline?
For most people, the final day to file your federal taxes is April 15, 2025. That’s been the standard deadline for decades—unless it lands on a weekend or a holiday, which could push it back by a day or two.
That said, some people do get a little extra time. According to the IRS, you might qualify for an extension if:
- You live outside the U.S. on tax day.
- You’ve been impacted by a federally-declared disaster.
You can also file for an extension before the deadline if you need more time for these or other qualifying reasons.
Waiting on your refund?
Once you’ve filed, you can track the status of your refund using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the IRS website. Just have your Social Security or taxpayer ID number ready, along with the exact amount of your expected refund.
Keep in mind: most refunds take up to three weeks to process, so hang tight.
