Does anyone know the official tax filing deadline for the 2026 tax season? I want to make sure I plan ahead for both federal and state returns. Also, will there be any extensions or changes expected compared to previous years?
 
The 2025 tax year tax filing deadline in the case of the 2026 tax season is April 15, 2026. The deadline of filing income tax returns in India on the financial year 202526 (assessment year 202627) is July 31, 2026, to non-audit taxpayers.
 
Individual taxpayers in the United States who are required to file a 2025 filing year tax return have a tax filing deadline of April 15, 2026. In India, the last date to submit income tax returns of the financial years 202526 (assessment years 202627) is July 31, 2026, when the taxpayer is not required to get his returns audited.
 
For the financial year 2025–26 (assessment year 2026–27), the tax filing deadlines are:
  • Individuals and HUFs (no audit required): 31 July 2026
  • Taxpayers requiring audit: 30 September 2026
  • Businesses with transfer pricing or international transactions: 30 November 2026
 
  • The standard federal deadline for most individuals to file a 2025 tax return is April 15, 2026. Tax Services Support+2CalendarDate+2
  • If you file for an extension, the due date moves to October 15, 2026 for most. Tax Services Support+1
  • As for state returns: most states align with the federal deadline, but you’ll need to check your specific state’s tax department for any variations.
  • No major nationwide changes or new deadline shifts have been announced yet — nothing beyond the usual extension options.
 
Unless the deadline is extended by holidays or weekends, tax filing by American individuals due to 2026 will be on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. Never doubt, always confirm with the IRS and your state tax agency particularly when you are e-filing or demanding extensions.
