The IRS pushed deadlines to February 4 in 40 Alabama counties and February 8 in 27 Florida counties, including October's extension deadline. Balances due in April did not move.
Individuals and businesses in the parts of Alabama and Florida hit by Hurricane Isaias have more time for many federal tax deadlines, the IRS announced October 14. In Alabama, deadlines falling on or after October 7, 2026, are postponed to February 4, 2027, in 40 counties. In Florida, deadlines falling on or after October 9 are postponed to February 8, 2027, in 27 counties.
October 15 is the last day to file without a late-filing penalty if you requested an extension. IRS Free File stays open through today.
Taxpayers who requested an extension in April have until today, October 15, to file their 2025 federal income tax returns. For most people with a valid extension, it is the last day to file without a late-filing penalty.
2025 brackets: IRS, Federal income tax rates and brackets (irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets). 2026 brackets: IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32 and its October 2025 release. Confirm with the IRS before filing.
