Additionally, Free File Fillable Forms are available for those with incomes over $79,000 who prefer to prepare their return themselves.

Some taxpayers affected by natural disasters or serving in combat zones may have extended deadlines to file their returns.

The IRS provides extensions for people in areas recognized by FEMA as disaster zones.

Those returning from combat zones also have extended deadlines, which vary by region.

Specific IRS Extensions

Taxpayers in Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia: deadline until November 1, 2024.

Taxpayers in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and other regions: deadline until February 3, 2025.

IRS Online Tools

Taxpayers can access their IRS Online Individual Account to check the status of payments, tax records, and more.

Access to these tools requires identity verification through the ID.me service, which also applies to services like obtaining transcripts and managing payments.

The IRS emphasizes the importance of meeting established deadlines and using available resources to simplify the tax filing process.
