File 2023 tax return by June 17; those impacted by terrorist attacks in Israel have until Oct. 7
WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers living and working outside the U.S. to file their 2023 federal income tax return by Monday, June 17, 2024. This deadline applies to both U.S. citizens and resident aliens abroad, including those with dual citizenship.
This deadline does not apply to taxpayers who live or have a business in Israel, Gaza or the West Bank, and certain other taxpayers affected by the terrorist attacks in the State of Israel. They are granted relief until Oct. 7, 2024, to both file and pay most taxes due. For more information, check out Notice 2023-71.
Taxpayers unable to file their tax returns by the June deadline can request a further extension to file, but not pay, until Oct. 15.
Qualifying for the June 17 extension
If a taxpayer is a U.S. citizen or resident alien residing overseas or is in the military on duty outside the U.S., on the regular due date of their return, they are allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file their return without requesting an extension. If they use a calendar year, the regular due date of their return is April 15, and the automatic extended due date would be June 15. Because June 15 falls on a Saturday this year, the due date is delayed until the next business day, June 17.
A taxpayer qualifies for the June 17 extension to file and pay if they are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, and on the regular due date of their return:
They are living outside the United States and Puerto Rico and their main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico, or
They are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
Qualifying taxpayers should attach a statement to the return indicating which of these two situations applies.
