You have until April 15, 2026 to file your federal return and pay your income taxes. For more detailed info on filing and payment deadlines, go here.

If you haven’t filed your federal taxes with TurboTax yet
You can choose your payment date and method in Step 2 of the File section.
If you’ve already filed your federal taxes with TurboTax
You can’t change your payment date in TurboTax after your return has been accepted, but you can cancel it and make other payment arrangements with the IRS.
Federal tax direct debit payments can be canceled up to two business days prior to the debit date. To cancel, call the US Treasury Financial Agent at 888-353-4537. Then, to schedule a new payment, go to the IRS Direct Pay site.
