Deadlines can shift slightly if a date falls on a weekend or holiday, or if IRS disaster relief applies to your area, we'll confirm anything specific to your return. An extension moves your filing deadline, not your payment deadline: any tax owed is still due by the original April date.

Don't wait for the deadline rush.

Filing early means more time to gather documents and fewer surprises. Let's get started.
