Job changes

I’m not working at this moment, I can’t file due to cannot afford the fee.  My question is how long will I have to file? After April’s deadline.

If you do not owe or are getting a refund you have three years from the filing deadline to file.   If you owe tax due and do not file and/or pay by April 15, 2025 you are subject to late filing penalties and interest.

 

 

Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site

Or—if you live in certain states you may be eligible to use the new IRS Direct File

 

 

In Filing Season 2025, Direct File will be available in Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
