The tax filing deadline for 2025 is the last day that individual taxpayers can file their tax returns for the 2024 tax year. In the United States, the tax filing deadline is typically April 15th, but in 2025, the deadline falls on Tuesday, April 15th, due to Emancipation Day being observed on Monday, April 14th.
Filing your taxes on time is important to avoid penalties and interest charges. If you file your taxes late, you may have to pay a late filing penalty of 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that your return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. You may also have to pay interest on any unpaid taxes.
