Tax Filing Deadline April 15

Federal and state income tax returns are due Tuesday, April 15, 2026. Residents who have not yet filed should submit returns or request an extension by the deadline to avoid penalties.

Free tax preparation resources are available through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program and the California Franchise Tax Board website. Local libraries may also have forms and instructions available.

Those unable to file by the deadline can request an automatic six-month extension, though taxes owed are still due April 15 to avoid interest charges.
