IRS also reminded federal taxpayers of 15 October on Friday – through the post to describe its X (formerly Twitter).
What is the term 15 October?
These taxpayers who have received an extension from the IRS are the date of income tax on Wednesday 15 October.
Taxpayers who applied for more time to file their tax return by 2024 at the beginning of this year were given an extension, allowing them to submit their return by 15 October, instead of the 15th April.
Will there be an extension around 15 October?
Although the US government is closed, taxpayers will not receive an extension for October 15, according to IRS, CBS News reported.

The inhabitants of Kentucky and people living in some districts of West Virginia also have until November 3 due to the February storms that caused serious damage in these areas.
What if you miss the term?
The decline in means do not change the federal income tax obligation.
If you fail to file your income tax return by 15 October, sanctions will be used. The IRS will charge 5% of the amount payable for each month or part of the month when it is late, up to a maximum of 25%.
However, the punishment may be dropped “If you have a reasonable explanation for submission late,” IRS says. In such cases, the federal agency orders taxpayers to attach an explanation for late filing with their tax return.
