Filing tax returns on time. Generally, the due date for filing your income taxes is April 15. However, in 2017, April 15th falls on a Saturday. Therefore, the tax deadline has been changed to April 18, 2017, which falls on the following Monday.
When is the last day for Americans to file their taxes for 2016? The filing deadline this year is Tuesday April 18, rather than the usual April 15.

Ahead of this yearâs tax season, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Americans should file well before the deadlineâpolicy changes this year may impact how quickly people receive refunds.
