The last stretch of the year
New Year’s Day, January 1, is a US federal holiday. When it falls on a Saturday, the observed federal holiday moves back to Friday, December 31. When it falls on a Sunday, it moves to Monday, January 2.
The countdown above counts to midnight at the start of January 1 in your own time zone. New Year arrives first in the Pacific islands of Kiribati, about a day before it reaches the last inhabited US territories. On the US mainland, New York’s ball drop happens three hours before midnight in Los Angeles.
Year-end deadlines
- Taxes: many US tax moves, such as some retirement contributions, charitable gifts and tax-loss harvesting, must happen by December 31 to count for this tax year. Check the IRS rules for each.
- Benefits: flexible spending account (FSA) money often has a use-it-or-lose-it deadline around the end of the year, although some plans allow a grace period or carryover.
- Resolutions: starting a habit a few days before January 1 gives you a head start. See our 21-day and 100-day planners.
New Year’s Day is one of the 11 US federal holidays. See the full federal holiday calendar for 2027, including observed days off and bank closures.
