About Tax Day
Tax Day is the deadline for filing US federal income tax returns. You can request an extension to file, but any tax you owe is still due on this date.
Tax Day is normally April 15, moving to the next business day when that falls on a weekend. In 2027 it lands on a Thursday, in week 15 of the year. The IRS can move the deadline for holidays or disasters. Check irs.gov for the official date.

Counting from today, Sunday, October 4, 2026, there are 193 days until Tax Day 2027. That works out to 27 weeks and 4 days, or about 6 months and 11 days.
