Yes, but if you think you owe taxes, you should pay them.

  • With an extension there is no filling penalty, but
  • Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it does NOT extend the time to pay your taxes.
  • If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment to avoid additional interest and penalties

This will give you until 15 October 2025 to file your taxes.

If you owe taxes, you must pay by April 15th.
