Tax deadlines can sneak up on you, and nothing is more aggravating than having to pay a fine you could have avoided. Save each relevant filing date to your calendar and stay one step ahead of the IRS. So when is the 2021 “tax day”? April 15, 2021.

The IRS has extended the deadline for filing and paying business returns normally due on March 15th and April 15th to victims of the Texas winter storms until June 15th, 2021.

So when do you have to pay your taxes? If you’re mailing your return, the IRS considers it “on time” if it’s properly addressed, has enough postage, and arrives in the mail before the end of business on the filing deadline. Otherwise, you have until midnight on your tax filing deadline day to e-file your return.

So when are the tax extensions for 2021 due? You have until the due date of your taxes to file for an extension. Individuals can still file for a tax extension on April 15 if they want to.
