What happens if an IRS due date falls on a weekend or holiday?

Federal deadlines generally move to the next business day when the original date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

Does an extension give me more time to pay?

An extension generally gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Taxes owed are still typically due on Tax Day.

When are quarterly estimated tax payments due?

The tracker lists the common quarterly estimated tax due dates for self-employed taxpayers and anyone who needs to make estimated payments.

Sources: IRS Publication 509, IRS tax calendar guidance, IRS estimated tax guidance, and IRS extension guidance. Dates shown are federal filing-season deadlines for the 2026 cycle.

Deadlines may shift if they fall on weekends or federal holidays - the IRS moves them to the next business day. Always verify at IRS.gov before relying on a deadline. This is not legal or tax advice.

Methodology

How this calculator works

Start with the IRS calendar-year filing deadline for individual returns.
Layer in the automatic extension filing deadline and the standard Form 1040-ES estimated-tax schedule.
Flag the tool as a federal calendar guide only so users know to verify disaster relief, weekend shifts, or state deadlines separately.
