IRS Extends 2024 Tax Deadline to June 16 for Millions Abroad

The IRS has reminded U.S. citizens and resident aliens living or working abroad, including dual citizens, that their deadline to file 2024 federal income tax returns and pay any taxes due is June 16, 2025. This date reflects an automatic two-month extension from the regular April 15 deadline, applicable to those whose main residence or business is outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as military personnel stationed abroad. Taxpayers who miss the June deadline can request a further extension until October 15, 2025, but interest will accrue on unpaid taxes starting April 15. Special extensions apply for military members in combat zones and individuals affected by conflicts in Israel and surrounding areas, allowing filing and payment until September 30, 2025. All taxpayers abroad must report worldwide income and may qualify for tax benefits like the foreign earned income exclusion and must report foreign financial accounts if exceeding certain thresholds. Various electronic payment options are available, including foreign wire transfers, credit/debit cards, and digital wallets, though fees may apply for some methods.
