The Tax Deadline is approaching for individuals, families, 1099 Contractors, Sole Proprietors, and single-Member LLCs. This year the deadline is April 17th instead of the traditional April 15th Deadline. The 15th falls on a Sunday this year, and the following Monday the 16th is Emancipation Day, which is a federal holiday in Washington DC.

This allows for a little extra time to organize your tax information, however if you find yourself waiting until the last minute you may be better off filing a tax extension instead. A Tax Filing is not something that should be rushed. If you need additional time to file a tax return, the IRS Form 4868 will allow an additional 6 months of time to file a tax return.

This can be done through ExpressExtension.com  They offer easy to follow instructions and the Tax Extension form itself is simple to understand because they take the IRS form and break it down into a series of simple questions that are easy to answer. Once the form is complete, it can be submitted electronically to the IRS. Once the IRS has processed the Extension, an email will be sent to the filing party to let them know that the IRS has received and accepted the Tax Extension.

It is important to note that although a Tax Extension extends the amount of time to File a Tax Return, it does not extend the amount of time to pay any taxes due. The IRS will still expect to receive a payment by April 17th. This additional time allows more time to research tax credits and refunds that may be applicable.

Basics of IRS Penalties

IRS Penalties and interest may be for a number of different occurrences. Some examples are: understating your tax liability, understating a reportable transaction, file an erroneous claim for a refund or credit, or file a frivolous tax submission. But the easiest way to receive a penalty is by filing late.  

When it comes to penalties and interest, the Internal Revenue Code may impose many different types of penalties. These can be as simple as a civil fine, or as harsh as imprisonment, depending on the particular scenario.

How IRS Penalties Are Calculated

Penalty for Filing Late:  If a return is not filed by the due date, you may have to pay a failure-to-file penalty.  This amount is typically 5% per month, but not greater than 25%. The penalty is based on the unpaid amount as of the due date.

Penalty for Paying Late:  The Failure-to-Pay Penalty of .5% of unpaid taxes per Month is incurred each month after taxes due are not paid.

NOTE: If there is no tax balance due (or you qualify for a refund) there will be no penalty for late filing.

Avoiding Penalties

Out of Country:  Individuals who live and work out of the country automatically receive a two month extension without filing a Form 4868. However, a return must be filed by October 15 at the latest.

Reasonable Cause:  The IRS does also waive penalties for those individuals and businesses that had Reasonable Cause to not file or pay on time.  This is a more subjective reason to be reserved for the most extreme circumstances, and to be determined by the IRS.

Extend Your Deadline:  An individual or business may elect to file for an extension of up to 6 months. This is not an extension of time to pay; this is an extension of time to file.  

Obviously the best way to avoid penalties and interest is to simply file on time! However, sometimes this is easier said than done.  There are many different services available for use by individuals and businesses to extend filing deadlines. www.expressextension.com is a simple online tool that can help you avoid late penalties by filing for an extension.  Ironically, one of the easiest ways to incur a penalty is also very easy to avoid.
