Florida Tax Deadline 2023: time, dates and when is the deadline to file taxes

The national tax filing deadline is Tuesday, 18 April, giving residents of Florida just a few more days to submit their returns on time. Returns are due by midnight on the 18th, and according to the IRS, it is best to file as soon as possible to avoid delays in receiving your refund.

Unlike the vast majority of states, Florida is one of a handful of states that does not levy tax on income, meaning that a return does not need to be submitted to the state too. However, a higher sales tax allows the state to make up some of the revanue it loses by not taxing income.

Yes. Anyone can file an extension which will give them until mid-October to submit their return to the IRS. However, if you request an extension, you should know that it does not apply to any taxes you must pay on or before 18 April.

The IRS Free File program can be used to request an extension electronically, regardless of a filer’s income. For those who plan to submit a paper return, the documents must be postmarked by 16 October.
