January Tax Payment Deadline

Individuals make a payment of your estimated tax for 2025 if you didn’t pay your income tax for the year through withholding (or didn’t pay in enough tax that way) via Form 1040-ES.

Farmers and fishermen pay your estimated tax for 2025 using Form 1040-ES – if you pay your tax in full, you have until April 15 to file your 2025 income tax return. If you don’t pay your estimated tax by January 15, you must file your 2025 return and pay any tax due by March 2, 2026 to avoid an estimated tax penalty.
