April 15 marks the deadline for filing the2024 federal tax return, a key date that has remained standard since the 1950s, unless it falls on a weekend or holiday. With tax season having started in late January, many taxpayers have already fulfilled this obligation, but others are still racing against the clock.
Although it is known as “Tax Day”, not all states share the same April 15 deadline. Some jurisdictions set their own tax calendars, and it is critical that taxpayers check the specific deadlines that apply in their place of residence.

In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides exceptions for those who need more time. If a person is living outside the country at the time of the deadline, or was affected by a federally declared natural disaster, they may request an automatic extension to file their return without incurring immediate penalties.
While some taxpayers have already completed the process, others still have the opportunity to comply in time or to take advantage of the legal alternatives offered by the U.S. tax system.
States that have an extension for tax filing
The IRS reported that taxpayers in states that faced a natural disaster can request an extension and that in nine states the extension is automatic from April 15 to May 1, 2025.
It is also possible to apply for an additional extension before April 15. Nine states are affected by FEMA disaster declarations: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and some counties in Tennessee and Virginia due to damage caused by Hurricane Helene.
While the August 2024 floods in the Juneau area of Alaska and others in October in Chaves County, New Mexico, also applied for an extension.
The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County, California, also moved the deadline for residents of this region to October 15, 2025.

Jets 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: They went chalk — and that might not be a bad thing
Aaron Glenn’s goal at the outset of the offseason was to establish a brand, to set the tone. What’s that brand?“Tough, physical, violent, aggressive, resilient,” Glenn said. “If we continue to get guys like that, you’ll start to see the brand show up on the grass.”That thought process drove everything Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey did this offseason, in free agency and especially in the NFL Draft. They didn’t set out to make a splash — and they didn’t in free agency, outside of signing quarterback Justin Fields — but wanted to simply find the right people to fit what they want to do. For the last couple of years, the Jets had talent and big names. They made headlines, but it was a team that often faltered under pressure, struggling to handle adversity and sometimes failing to cultivate […]
Harry Kane criticises ‘crazy’ booking ruling him out of potential Bundesliga title-clincher
Harry Kane has criticised a “crazy” refereeing decision that will see him miss Bayern Munich’s game against RB Leipzig, when they could clinch the Bundesliga title.Kane was shown a yellow card in the 45th minute of Bayern’s 3-0 win over Mainz on Saturday. It was his fifth booking of the season, meaning that he will now serve a one-match suspension.AdvertisementWith Bayern 2-0 up in first half injury time, referee Bastian Dankert awarded a free kick for Mainz, which Kane delayed by not immediately releasing the ball. Dankert showed him a yellow card — which Kane described as a “crazy, crazy decision” — which potentially costs him the chance to be on the pitch when Bayern confirm their title at the Red Bull Arena next weekend.“Unfortunately, sometimes people come to the Allianz Arena and try to make a name for themselves,” […]
Seahawks 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Wild card Jalen Milroe highlights offense-heavy class
In Mike Macdonald’s first season as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, the team had a below-average scoring offense and missed the playoffs.Macdonald then fired his offensive coordinator and made significant changes to the offensive staff. Seattle traded its starting quarterback, released one of the best wide receivers in franchise history (Tyler Lockett) and traded DK Metcalf. The Seahawks also entered the draft with very serious needs along the interior offensive line.AdvertisementThis is important context because it helps explain Seattle’s 11-man haul in the 2025 NFL Draft. Nine of the picks were spent on offense, including the top selection, guard Grey Zabel. He’s the first guard general manager John Schneider has ever drafted in the first round. Zabel turned out to be one of three college tackles the Seahawks drafted to play guard in the NFL.Seattle also drafted two receivers […]
Soft? Not these Cavaliers, who destroyed Heat in Game 3 amid trash-talking battle
MIAMI — Let’s get this part out of the way:It was either unfortunate timing, or just not the best look, for Darius Garland to go in on Tyler Herro and then not play the next game with a toe sprain.Likewise, it was either unfortunate timing or not the best look for Herro, and the Miami Heat, to respond as forcefully with their words to Garland as they did and then play as poorly as they did Saturday.AdvertisementYou could, if you wanted, try to make a case that the Cleveland Cavaliers’ dominance in a 124-87 win over Miami in Game 3 was a result of Garland’s teammates having his back, picking him up when he was not out there to walk the walk.You could try that, and the Cavs would meet you with an “ehhhh.”“Maybe a little bit, but I feel […]
Rams 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Roster confidence and aiming to win now are apparent
LOS ANGELES — This year’s L.A. Rams draft had all the feel of a team fine-tuning select areas in preparation to make a real run at a championship, without losing its substance afterward.The Rams’ six picks — including three trades up on Day 3 — are the fewest they have used since 2016. They also added a first-round pick in 2026 via Atlanta after trading out of the first round Thursday night.AdvertisementThis means two things are true: The Rams are confident about the backbone of their roster and assets in 2026 and beyond, but they’re going to try to win now.Their moves in free agency — from agreeing to continued terms with star quarterback Matthew Stafford to their extension of left tackle Alaric Jackson addition of free-agent nose tackle Poona Ford, receiver Davante Adams and center Coleman Shelton — all […]
2025 NFL Draft: Patriots’ Mr. Irrelevant pick is DB Kobee Minor, who played at Texas Tech, Indiana and Memphis
Mr. Irrelevant really was fairly irrelevant this year.The Patriots selected Kobee Minor, a defensive back who played at Texas Tech, Indiana and Memphis. The NFL Network desk seemed caught off guard by the pick. Analyst Daniel Jeremiah admitted during the NFL Network broadcast that he hadn't watched Minor, and the pick was a flier. Minor had just 38 tackles and no interceptions, but two sacks, in his final college season with Memphis. Before his last season, he had started just nine games in his college career.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe final pick was originally held by the Kansas City Chiefs, but they traded it to the Patriots. The Chiefs got the 228th overall pick for Nos. 251 and 257, which was the last pick of the draft. The family of Mr. Irrelevant founder Paul Salata announced the pick as a way to celebrate the […]
