Federal income and FBAR filing deadline dates
« on: April 12, 2021, 10:56:43 PM »
I know I should know this, but for US citizens living abroad (e.g. UK), what is the deadline for filing the Federal income tax return (assuming no tax is owed), and what is the deadline date for filing the FBAR?

From what I can tell, the deadline for filing the Federal income tax return has been extended to 15 July 2021 for everyone.

As for the FBAR, one site says the deadline is 15 October 2021.

Is this correct?

Your first link is for last year.  Try this one.

When I go through the "help" widget at the bottom of the page, it seems to say out-of-country is due 6/15/2021.
