Did you know that if you’re a U.S. citizen or resident alien living abroad, or if you’re serving in the U.S. military overseas, you get an automatic two-month extension of the regular tax filing deadline?
If this applies to you, it means that your 2016 taxes are due on June 15, 2017.
If you’re going to take advantage of the automatic extension, just include a short written statement to your return explaining that you’re living abroad or overseas, or serving in the military outside of the U.S.
