Income Tax Returns Filing Due Date

Taxpayers use Income Tax Returns (ITR) to provide reports to the IRS about their earnings and tax payments.

It is essential for individuals, businesses, and even various different entities to file their Income Tax Returns within the stipulated timelines. Filing on time saves the unnecessary penalty that may incur on failure or delayed payment of taxes.

What is the ITR Filing Date

Last date to file Income Tax Return (ITR) for Financial Year 2023-24 (Assessment Year 2024-25) without late fees is 31st July 2024. However, if you fail to file within the due date, you can still file a belated return before December 31, 2024.

The due date for filing federal tax returns is the IT returns filing last date without incurring a late charge or extra charge. Taxpayers who file their returns after the due date must incur interest and a levy under sections 234A and 234F.

It is important for all taxpayers to keep in mind the deadline for filing their income tax returns. The due date depends on the taxpayer. Salaried entities, for example, are normally expected to file their income tax returns by July 31st, while corporations subject to audit can file their returns by September 31st of the assessment year.
