The IRS sent final reminders to Americans that their deadline to file their 2024 taxes is Tuesday, April 15, but it gave an exemption to residents and businesses in Tennessee due to recent weather events.
The IRS, which announced Jan. 27 as the official start date of the 2025 tax season, said that it expects more than 140 million tax returns to be filed by the April 15 tax deadline. April 15 is also the deadline to file an extension, which will give taxpayers until Oct. 15 to file their taxes but does not give them extra time to pay taxes that they owe.
