Don't let the deadline sneak up on you! Proactive preparation is your best strategy.

Are you a Portuguese tax resident dealing with income from abroad? If you're waiting on documents to snag that foreign tax credit for your 2024 IRS return and think you might miss the usual June 30th, 2025 deadline, here's the deal:

Portugal's tax rules do allow for an extension to file your IRS return when you're seeking a tax credit for taxes paid outside Portugal.

Key Insight: To make this work, you've got to file an official extension request with the Portuguese Tax Authority (AT) before June 30th, 2025. Explain why you need the extra time and that you intend to claim the foreign tax credit.

Filed Already? Room for Tweaks!

If you've already filed your 2024 IRS return but have second thoughts or think something's missing, relax. Portuguese tax law allows you to submit a substitute return.

You have 30 days from your initial filing date to submit this revised return. This lets you correct any errors and ensure your tax obligations are fully met.
