Missed this year’s tax deadline? Don’t stress, you can still file for a tax extension. If you need more time to file, the IRS grants tax extensions. If you need tax extension help in San Jose / Campbell, Paramount Tax & BccountingBookkeeping has you covered. Please read below for detailed information on tax extensions:
How do I file a tax extension?
You can file for a tax extension by filling out the IRS Form 4868 online or printing it out and mailing it in.
How long is the tax extension?
If a tax extension is requested by the April 15 deadline, the IRS will grant taxpayers an additional 6 months of filing time. Tax extensions can be granted for any reason, as long as you file for an extension on or before April 15.
Is there a penalty for filing a tax extension?
While the IRS will extend your filing deadline to October 15 if you file for an extension, you still have to pay by the April 15 deadline. A tax extension only extends your filing time, not your payment time. If you are able to pay at least 90% of your taxes by the time you request an extension to file, then you will not face penalties. If you do not pay by the April 15 deadline, you may face a failure to pay penalty. This penalty is 0.5% of your owed amount and it starts accruing monthly the day after the deadline, with a maximum fine of 25%.
