When Are State Taxes Due? Here Are the 2025 Deadlines
By Julia Glum MONEY RESEARCH COLLECTIVE
Although most states use the federal deadline for their individual income tax returns, not all do.
Attention, procrastinators: The federal tax deadline is about a month away, which means it’s time to get moving if you haven’t already filed your 2024 tax return. Time is running out, too, if you live in one of the 41 states that charge individual income taxes on wages.
