Tax duties of U.S. citizens abroad

Taxpayers living and working abroad have until June 16, 2025, to file their 2024 income tax returns and pay any tax due. This deadline applies to U.S. citizens and resident aliens, including those with dual citizenship. 

It includes those in the military on duty outside the United States.

These individuals generally are allowed a two-month extension from the usual deadline to file without having to request it. Even with the extension, interest will apply to any 2024 tax payments received after April 15.

This means that beginning after April 15, unpaid 2024 tax balances will begin accruing interest, currently 7% per year, compounded daily. For more from the IRS click here.
