Year 2023 Tax Year Deadline
Federal income tax filing deadline for individuals for the Year 2023 is April 18, 2023.
Why is the 2023 tax deadline April 18 instead of April 15?
Because April 15, the standard deadline, falls on a Saturday in 2023. When the deadline falls on a weekend, the IRS moves the deadline to the next business day. However, that Monday, April 17, 2023, is Emancipation Day, a holiday recognized in Washington, D.C., where the IRS is headquartered. April 17 is also Patriot’s Day, a state holiday in Maine and Massachusetts.
As a result of all of this, the deadline for filing federal income tax returns (generally Form 1040), will be Tuesday, April 18, 2023, and most states usually follow the same calendar for state income tax returns.
Estimated tax filing deadlines for 2023
While the regular filing deadline is what will be needed for most employees, if you have self-employment income, then you'll also want to be sure that you're taking care of paying your estimated taxes for the year. There are 4 deadlines throughout the year to pay your estimated tax for each quarter, and generally speaking, they always fall in the middle of April, June, September, and January. For 2023, the estimated tax payment dates are:
- April 18th
- June 15
- September 15
- January 17, 2024
If this is your first year having self-employment income, then the IRS won't impose any penalties for missing these deadlines. However, if you do have self-employment income, you are expected to pay estimated taxes throughout the year. If you end up not paying enough come tax time, you could face an interest and/or a penalty payment on the April 18th deadline.
