April 15, 2024
Taxpayers Who Live In MA or ME Have Until April 17, 2024 to File Their Returns
The filing deadline for most taxpayers to submit 2023 individual tax returns, pay any taxes or file an extension is Monday, April 15, 2024. Because of the Patriots’ Day holiday on April 15 in Maine and Massachusetts and the Emancipation Day holiday on April 16 in the District of Columbia, taxpayers who live in Maine or Massachusetts have until April 17, 2024 to file their returns.
For People Who Turn 70 1/2 After December 31, 2019
Included as part of a government spending bill that was signed into law December 20, 2019, The Setting Every Community up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (the Secure Act) changes the age at which individuals must begin taking the required minimum distributions (RMDs) from retirement accounts. The SECURE Act increases the age at which individuals must begin taking RMDs to 72 from 70 1/2. However, the new law only applies to people who turned 70 1/2 after December 31, 2019. If a person turned 70 1/2 in 2019, or have already been required to take RMDs, the law does not apply.
