If you live and work abroad, you have until Monday, June 16, 2025, to file your 2024 federal income tax return and pay any tax due. This deadline applies to both U.S. citizens and resident aliens abroad, including those with dual citizenship.

In general, on the regular due date of their return, a U.S. citizen or resident alien residing overseas or in the military on duty outside the U.S. is allowed an automatic two-month extension to file. For most people, that deadline was April 15, 2025. Even with the tax-filing extension, interest will apply to any 2024 tax payments received after April 15.

Here’s who qualifies

You qualify for the June 16 extension if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien and on the regular due date of your return, one of the following applies:

• You are living outside the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
• You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico.

If you qualify, you should attach a statement to your tax return indicating which of these two situations applies.

Extensions beyond June 16

If you can’t meet the June 16 due date, you can request an extension to Oct. 15, 2025. This is an extension of time to file, not an extension to pay. If you need help filing an extension, please contact our office and we would be happy to help.
