What is the extension deadline?
April 15, 2026 is the deadline to file an extension with the IRS. Once the extension has been accepted, you have until October 15, 2026 to file your taxes.
Filing an extension only extends the deadline for filing your return. If you owe the IRS money, you are still required to pay the amount due by the April 15, 2026 payment deadline to avoid penalties.
