Filing a New Hampshire return with tax software

Because New Hampshire does not tax wages, you usually only need a federal return, so you can skip state fees. If you lived or worked in another state with an income tax during the year, you may need to file there. Compare federal costs in the price tracker or see how to file free.

Federal deadlines still apply

Your federal 2026 return is due April 15, 2027, wherever you live. See the full 2027 federal tax calendar, estimate your refund with the refund estimator, or compare tax software.
