Can I wait to transmit my returns

can I save my returns and file at a later time

You sure can. The tax deadline is 4/15/2025, and if you need more time after that, you can file an extension.  Just make sure you have paid in what you owe by 4/15, if applicable.

Here is some information on filing an extension, if needed: Free federal tax extension available in March

You can e-file your tax returns at any time on or before October 15, 2025.

If you have taxes owed and are paying with your tax return, then you need to file the tax return on or before April 15, 2025 to avoid the failure to pay penalty.
