When are 2010 Tax Returns Due?

2010 individual income tax returns are due on April 18th, 2011 (3.5 months after the end of the tax year, which is December 31, 2010 for most people).

The most commonly used federal income tax return forms are Form 1040, Form 1040A, and Form 1040-EZ. The 2010 versions of these IRS tax forms will be posted on the IRS website as the filing season nears. Typically, this means that taxpayers will be able to download them beginning in December 2010 or even January 2011. Until that time, only 2009 versions of these forms are available. While they cannot be used for reporting 2010 income and deductions, the 2009 forms may be useful in planning 2010 taxes and estimated tax refunds or liability.
