Oct. 15 is the last day to file 2014 tax returns for most people who requested an automatic six-month extension and avoid the late filing penalty. However, you can file any time before Oct. 15 if you have all your required tax documents. If you are one of the nearly 13 million taxpayers who asked for more time to file your federal tax return this year, you don’t need to wait until Oct. 15 extension deadline to file your return. You can file now if you are ready.
Missed Deadline? File as Soon as You Can. If you did not request an extension by April 15, you should file and pay as soon as you can anyway. This will stop the interest and penalties that you will owe. IRS Direct Pay offers you a free, secure and easy way to pay your tax directly from your checking or savings account. There is no penalty for filing a late return if you are due a refund. The sooner you file, the sooner you’ll get it.
Contact TACCT for your tax preparation needs or file now online until October 15 for 2015 tax return.
***More Time for the Military. Some people have more time to file. This includes members of the military and others serving in a combat zone. If this applies to you, you typically have until at least 180 days after you leave the combat zone to both file returns and pay any taxes due.
