October 15th Filing Deadline

  • Final deadline to file individual tax returns (with extension). (Forms 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ.)
  • Last day the IRS will accept an electronically filed tax return for the year 2014. If filing after October 15th, you’ll need to mail in your tax return for processing.
  • Final deadline to fund a SEP-IRA or solo 401(k) for tax year 2014 if you requested an automatic extension of time to file.

What if I miss the Oct 15 Deadline

If you’re getting a refund on your 2014 tax return, you have until April 15, 2018 (October 15, 2018 with an extension) to file the return before the statute of limitations on your refund expires. If you don’t file by then, the U.S. Treasury simply keeps your “donation.”

On the other hand, if you owe tax, that deadline has already passed.

If you still owe taxes and can’t pay it off all at once, at least try to pay off as much as you can, as soon as you can. See IRS payment options.
