FINAL CALL TO RISE: YOUR TAX DEADLINE POWER PUSH STARTS NOW

THE PRESS CENTER | BREAKING NEWS | IRS

WASHINGTON — This is your moment to step up with confidence and finish strong. The IRS has issued a clear, unwavering reminder: if you filed an extension for your 2024 taxes, your absolute final deadline is tomorrow, Oct. 15, at midnight. The government shutdown does not pause your responsibilities—and you are fully capable of meeting them.

More than 20 million Americans are in this final stretch with you, pushing toward the same goal. The IRS strongly encourages you to take the fastest, safest route: e-file your return and submit any payments electronically through IRS.gov.. Digital filing reduces errors, speeds up processing, and gives you the peace of mind that your submission is secure and complete.

Prefer paper? You’ve still got this. Download Form 1040 and the official instructions directly from IRS.gov.. Every mailing address you need is clearly listed on the final page of the instructions, so nothing is left to guesswork.

And here’s an important clarification: some taxpayers qualify for extended deadlines.

Individuals affected by the terror attacks in Israel have until Sept. 30, 2026 to file.

Taxpayers living in federally declared disaster areas may also receive automatic extensions. You can find the full, up-to-date list under Tax Relief in Disaster Situations on IRS.gov..

For everyone else, the message is simple and empowering: the finish line arrives tomorrow at midnight. This isn’t just a deadline—it’s your opportunity to close the loop, honor your commitments, and step into the next chapter with clarity and confidence.

You are capable. You are prepared. You are ready to finish what you started.

Let’s cross that line with purpose.
