Tax Filing Extension

It is often possible to get a tax filing extension. Federal taxes are due to the IRS by April 15th of each year, unless the IRS changes this date. In some cases, you may find it difficult to file your tax return by this time. This is when you will need to request an extension. Do not just turn in your return late, this will cause extra penalties and interest. Don’t avoid filing. Instead, just ask for an extension.

You can learn how to file a tax extension very easily. In most cases, you can turn to a tax filing service, such as JUSU CPA LLC, to handle the process for you. Otherwise, you can obtain the appropriate documentation from the IRS website, download it, print it, and file it. In short, you will be simply asking the IRS for more time. In most cases, you can delay the filing deadline until October 15th.

However, filing an extension is not as simple as it sounds. When you file an extension, you are only pushing back the due date for the tax return itself. If you owe the IRS money, you are still required to pay this at the time of filing an extension. You will need to estimate the amount you owe to the IRS at the time of filing for the extension. This can be a difficult process since you haven’t completed the necessary tax return yet. The payment of your taxes owed is still due by April 15th, or the tax filing deadline.

A tax filing extension can be helpful for people who do not have necessary documentation available to complete their tax return. If you feel you may need this extension, let JUSU CPA LLC help you get it. Don’t put off completing your required taxes, if you can help it.
