📝 About Tax Day 2026
Tax Day is the annual deadline for filing individual federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, typically falling on April 15 unless that date lands on a weekend or holiday. The date traces back to the Revenue Act of 1913, which established the modern income tax following ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment; the original filing deadline was March 1, later moved to March 15 in 1918 and finally to April 15 in 1955 to spread the administrative workload. Each year the IRS processes roughly 150 million individual returns, with a significant share filed in the final days before the deadline. Americans who need more time may request an automatic six-month extension, though any taxes owed are still due on Tax Day to avoid interest and penalties.
