When are Massachusetts state taxes due for the 2025 tax year?
Massachusetts individual income tax returns for 2025 are due April 15, 2026. If that date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. An extension moves the filing deadline to October 15, but any tax owed is still due on the original date.
Does a Massachusetts extension give me more time to pay?
No. An extension extends the time to file, not to pay. To avoid penalties and interest, pay what you expect to owe by April 15, 2026.
