garland irs tax specialist: Plano TX - What Happens If I Don't File My Tax Return Timely
- 09/12/19 11:19 AM
For the personal returns of taxpayers, the IRS gives taxpayers until April 15th to file their tax return. However, if a taxpayer cannot file by April 15th, by submitting IRS Form 4868, they are granted an extension to file their return until October 15th. Before we go further, I wanted to point out that that an extension with Form 4868, is an extension to file your return, not to pay your taxes. Taxpayers who validly request an extension and file by the extension due date, will not incur a late filing penalty, but may still incur a late payment penalty.
