IRS announces extra day for taxpayers to file any returns, pay any tax due January 9
Extra day granted because of Carter remembrance day
The IRS today granted taxpayers an extra day, until January 10, 2025, to file any return or pay any tax originally due on January 9, 2025.
According to the IRS release—IR-2025-05 (January 8, 2025)—the IRS granted the extra time following the December 29, 2024 presidential proclamation marking January 9, 2025 as a national day of mourning for James Earl Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States.
The extension applies to any federal income, payroll, or excise tax deposit due, including those required to be made through the U.S. Treasury Department’s electronic federal tax payment system (EFTPS).
