Avoid penalties and interest for missing filing deadlines:
· January 31, IRS will begin processing personal tax returns.
· April 15, the normal deadline for filing personal returns. (It falls on a Tuesday.)
· October 15, the extended deadline for filing personal returns. (It falls on a Wednesday.)
Important: Remember, even if you file for an extension to file your tax return, you must estimate your tax liability and pay by April 15th.
