Can I still get it done?

Ask the Experts - Extension III - Sept 2025

Assuming you are referring to filing your return, yes. If you filed an extension for a 2024 personal return the deadline is October 15, 2025.

Generally speaking, you can still file a return after the extension deadline. If you have a balance due and file past the deadline, the IRS will assess failure to file and failure to pay penalties. If this is your scenario, it's best to file as soon as possible to limit these penalties.

A 2024 return can still be e-filed until October 15, 2025; after that it will have to be filed by mail. If you are getting a refund you have three years to file; if you owe tax due, you will owe with late filing penalties and interest if you miss the October 15 deadline.
