State & Federal Late Taxes Filing, Late Income Tax Return Filing

If you filed an extension, do your taxes by Oct. 15. If you didnt, file your taxes right away to help minimize IRS penalties and interest.

What happens if I don't file a tax return at all?

You will receive a letter from the IRS requesting that an income tax return be filed, particularly if the IRS has W-2's, 1099's, or similar documents indicating that you had reportable income during the year. The IRS will then follow up with a tentative assessment of tax.

Can I prepare and file a late tax return for a prior tax year?

Yes. If you are preparing a late tax return for a previous tax year, you can file a late return. Learn more, http://harborfi.typepad.com/tax/2008/09/late-income-tax-return-filing-state-federal-late-taxes-filing.html

Oct 15 is the deadline!
