Don't Miss the Tax Deadline

Extended Filing, Not Extended Payment

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reminds taxpayers that while an extension of time to file your tax return grants you an additional six months to file, it does not grant you any extension of time to pay your taxes. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate and pay any taxes you owe by the original deadline of April 15th.

File on Time or Request an Extension

If you need more time to complete your tax return, you can file for an extension using Form 4868. This will automatically extend your filing deadline to October 15th. However, it is important to note that filing an extension does not extend the deadline for paying your taxes.

Pay Your Taxes on Time

Taxpayers are responsible for estimating and paying any taxes they owe by the April 15th deadline. Failure to pay your taxes on time can result in penalties and interest charges. The IRS encourages taxpayers to use IRS Free File, a free and secure way to file your taxes online.

Act Now

With the tax deadline approaching quickly, the IRS urges taxpayers to take action now. File your return, pay your taxes, or request an extension. By acting promptly, you can avoid any potential penalties or delays.
