Filing your taxes can seem like a maze of dates and forms. Get one wrong, and you’ve wasted a lot of time and may have incurred late fees.
We’ve put a simple guide together to help you navigate the forms and their related due dates. The following dates are the tax dues dates in 2023.
The main tax deadline for personal taxes is Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
We also included the estimated tax deadlines for 2023, since making estimated tax payments can always be annoying.

Filing Your Taxes
Where and how should you file your taxes? Most tax software will handle annual income tax filings and extensions. Check here for the best tax software.
Note that some of the free tax filing software may not offer as much customer service as paid versions. If you want specific questions answered or need guidance from a real person, be sure to check that those services are offered with the software.
If your taxes are fairly simple, filing online or through tax software is not difficult and will save your money. If your taxes are on the more complex side or you just don’t want to deal with filing, you’ll need to hire a tax professional, which will be more costly.
Tax professionals can be found locally, or you can visit any of the large tax brands such as H&R Block. Both have physical locations that allow you to speak to someone in person and have your questions answered.
