1040 IRS filing deadlines and electronic filing information
Electronic filing opening day information and information about relevant due dates for 1040 returns
The Modernized e-File (MeF) System is available daily, except during maintenance and down times. Refer to the IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) Status page for down times.
All deadlines are 11:59:59 pm local time. The time zone is based on the location of the preparer and the e-file is time-stamped with the time it's received by Thomson Reuters. We recommend that preparers transmit electronic files to Thomson Reuters at least 1 hour before the filing deadline.

Grace periods
- If you can't file a return electronically, you'll need to file the paper return by the return due date or 10 calendar days after the IRS rejected the return.
- The grace period begins at the time of the rejection and is never extended for weekends, holidays, or end of year cutoff.
- The grace period doesn't extend past the last day to retransmit rejected timely filed returns.
- The IRS considers returns that are re-filed within the grace period to be timely filed returns.
