The tax filing deadline for most taxpayers this year is Tuesday, April 15, 2025. The IRS says that this tax season, you should find improved service when you call for assistance.  If you want assistance, the IRS says this year you will find:

  • Expanded in-person service at Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs). The IRS says it will also offer extended hours at many TACs nationwide.
  • Increased help available on the toll-free line and an expanded customer call back feature designed to significantly reduce wait times.

Individual taxpayers can call this number from 7 am to 7 pm local time for assistance:  800-829-1040. Businesses, non-profits and other callers can find more numbers at:  IRS Telephone Assistance

Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the April 15 deadline can get a six-month extension by filing Form 4868.

State income tax deadlines may differ. The IRS urges taxpayers to check with their state tax agencies for those details.

Free Tax Assistance for Seniors

If you’re aged 60 or older the IRS has free tax assistance programs, probably with a location near you.

The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program is a free service offered by the IRS for all taxpayers, particularly those who are age 60 and older.  TCE volunteers are IRS-certified and TCE sites are open from February through April at many libraries and community centers.

TCE volunteers are often co-located with VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) volunteers.  VITA gives free tax help to people who generally make $67,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

To find a TCE site near you, visit:  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by-volunteers

Click on the VITA/TEC Locator Tool then enter your zip code. You can also check for AARP-staffed tax help centers.

Before you go, gather last year’s tax return, IDs, and other documents.  For a list of what to bring, see this IRS publication:  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3676bsp.pdf
