Question 1

When is my Tax Return due?

Accepted Answer

If you are a U.S person living outside of the United States, your Federal Income Tax Return is due by June 15th 2025.

If your tax return is not ready for filing by May 31st, we will prepare an Extension which extends the filing date to October 15th.

An Extension does not extend the date by which you must pay the balance of tax owed - April 15th.  If you owe tax and have an Extension, the IRS will charge interest (currently 8% p.a.). If you do not file by the October 15th and owe tax, you will be charged a late-filing penalty of 5% per month for a period of 5 months and thereafter charged a late-payment penalty of 0.5% per month for 60 months.

If you send in your tax return via the Post, the postmark date is legally considered as your filing date. You will need to have proof of mailing should the IRS contest the filing date.
