Individual Returns

Individual income tax returns for the tax year 2023 are due on April 15, 2024, unless you file Form 4868 seeking an extension until October 15, 2024.
Please note that missing the tax deadline can have consequences like penalties and interest.
If you fail to file your taxes on time, you’ll likely encounter what’s called a Failure to File Penalty. The penalty for failing to file represents 5% of your unpaid tax liability for each month your return is late, up to 25% of your total unpaid taxes.
If you’re due a refund, there’s no penalty for failure to file. Though, you do lose the chance of getting that refund.
