The tax deadline has come and gone.
If you didn’t file a tax return as yet, we advise that you do it as soon as possible. If you missed the 2021 tax deadline, the good news is you can still file.
Here’s some helpful information before getting started.
Getting a refund?
If you’re due a refund from the IRS, you’re in luck. You are not subject to the tax deadline nor will you be penalized. Technically, you have three years to file from the original tax deadline to claim your refund as well. For example, you have until April 15, 2021 to claim your 2020 tax refund. However, in order to e-file your tax return, you must file by October 15, 2021.
Do you owe taxes?
In the case that you didn’t request a tax extension from the IRS, you must take action by filing and paying now. As a reminder, you must have paid your taxes by May 17 to avoid penalties; with an IRS extension or not.
