Important Dates

Updated 12/1/2023

**This guide has been updated to incorporate new changes made by The SECURE Act 2.0 that are effective for the 2024 year. Any SECURE Act 2.0 changes that are effective for 2025 will be incorporated into this guide at the start of the 2025 year. 

There are many important dates that advisors need to keep in mind. Different contexts and client circumstances will affect applicable deadlines, making it difficult for advisors to identify which figures should be referenced.

In response to this challenge, we’ve created the “Important Dates” resource. This quick reference guide covers the key dates and milestones that are commonly referred to during the year. It includes:

  • Tax filing deadlines for individuals and businesses
  • Tax payment deadlines for individuals and businesses
  • Tax form issuance deadlines
  • Retirement plan deadlines
  • Common enrollment periods
