Tax Returns, Filing Status, Deductions
Tax Day is on or around April 15! If you miss that date, you can prepare and e-file your 2023 year taxes until October 15 following the April deadline. You may, however, be subject to late filing and/or late payment penalties and a tax extension may be due. Late filing penalties do not apply if you expect a tax refund, but you only have 3 years to file and claim your tax refund; don't let it expire!
