When is the due date of my US tax return?

Article Number: 71 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 11:10 PM

The usual due date of a 1040 is April 15^th, but if you reside overseas, you are allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file your return until June 15. However, any tax due must be paid by the original return due date (April 15) to avoid interest charges.

If you are unable to file your return by the due date, you can request an additional extension to October 15 by filing an extension. However, any payments made after June 15 would be subject to both interest charges and failure to pay penalties.
