📋 October 15 Tax Filing Extension Deadline Reminder for 2025 Returns

For taxpayers across the region who requested extensions on their 2025 federal income tax returns, the clock is ticking. Sanders Associates is reminding filers and business owners that Thursday, October 15, 2026, marks the final deadline to submit extended returns-a date that applies to individuals, C corporations, and those with foreign financial account reporting requirements.

📅 Who Needs to File by October 15

Taxpayers who timely requested an extension to file their 2025 federal income tax returns must submit them by October 15, 2026. 🏢 The same deadline applies to calendar-year C corporations that received an extension to file their 2025 corporate returns using Form 1120.

🌍 Foreign Financial Account Reporting (FBAR)

U.S. persons with a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts must also be aware of this deadline. ✅ If the combined value of those accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during 2025, a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) must generally be filed by October 15, 2026. The FBAR extension is automatic-no separate extension request is required.
