Tax Calender 2013 Due Dates

Here are the primary 2013 tax due dates. The effects of weekends, and federal (but not state) holidays have been taken into account.

January 15, 2013. Individuals.

Make a payment of your estimated tax for 2012, if you didn't pay your income tax for the year through withholding (or didn't pay in enough tax that way). Use Form 1040-ES or pay by credit card or by EFTPS. This is the final installment date for 2012 estimated tax. However, you don't have to make this payment if you file your 2012 return (Form 1040) and pay any tax due by Feb. 1, 2013.

January 15, 2013. Farmers and fishermen.

Pay your estimated tax for 2012 using Form 1040-ES or pay by credit card or by EFTPS. You can then file your 2012 income tax return (Form 1040) by Apr. 15. If you don't pay at this time, your 2012 return will be due Mar. 1, 2013.
