Tax Deadline Alert: Don't miss the 2025 cutoff for filing your income tax returns
The final date is quickly approaching to file 2024 tax returns and the IRS isn’t flexible with the deadline.
Taxpayers have one week to file their taxes with the deadline on April 15. However, it is not worth leaving it late as the sooner you file your taxes, the sooner the IRS can process your refund, if that is what you are owed.
The official beginning of the 2025 tax season was back in January.
Gathering is for friends, not penalties and interest. Avoid them by filing and paying on time. See #IRS details at: https://t.co/tZ7Ni3lhn3 pic.twitter.com/EGhFCNL83s
