Millions of Americans request federal income tax extensions every year. About 10% of individual taxpayers submit valid tax extension forms during a typical tax season, according to the IRS.
There are many reasons for taxpayers to file an extension. Perhaps your tax forms are late, or you’ve been living in another country. Or maybe you simply need more time to get organized.
A tax extension is considered valid if it’s filed ahead of the original tax deadline, which for this year is Monday, April 15. The extension gives you six extra months —until October 15, 2024 —to file your 2023 tax return.
