2021 – 09/17 Did you request an extension from the IRS to file your 2020 tax return? If so, the Oct. 15 deadline is coming up soon. Taxpayers who asked for an extension should file on or before the extension deadline to avoid a penalty for filing late. Although Oct. 15 is the last day for most people to file, some people may have more time. They include military members and others serving in a combat zone. They typically have 180 days after they leave the combat zone to file returns and pay any taxes due. In addition, taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas who already had valid extensions are given more time. Contact us ASAP to prepare your return to avoid penalties and claim any refund due.
