Tax Deadline: April 15

With the April 15 tax deadline approaching, there is still time to file federal income tax returns electronically and request direct deposit.

Individuals unable to file their tax return by the deadline can apply for an extension by: (1) electronically requesting an automatic tax-filing extension through IRS Free File by filing a Form 4868 (2) making an electronic payment using Direct Pay, debit card, credit card or digital wallet and indicate the payment is for an extension, or (3) mailing Form 4868 by the tax deadline.
