The United States Tax Season ended last April, so the IRS is not accepting new Tax Return documents in most cases. However, it is true that there is an extension period that is available for many Americans who meet certain requirements.
Even so, it is now impossible to apply for such an extension on the Tax Return filing date. This is important to understand, since as of today it is not possible to ask the IRS to extend our payment schedule. So make sure you know if you really had access to this extension or if you should have simply sent the Tax Return by the mid-April deadline.
Deadline to send the Tax Return to the IRS in October
Those Americans who requested an extension of the IRS Tax Return deadline could see the new deadline changed to October 15. So thanks to this they may have more time to be able to send all the mandatory documentation.
However, there are no more deadlines or extensions for this Tax Return pertaining to the 2023 taxes. So the IRS has to have all the documents on that day at the latest. If you have problems, remember that you can contact some professional specialist in the sector to help you.
Anyway, remember that:
- Having more time to send the Tax Return to the IRS is not always a good thing.
- Just because we send the Tax Return later does not mean that we are not going to pay taxes.
- The sooner we send all the documentation, the sooner we will get our Tax Refund if we are eligible.
In short, do not forget to send your Tax Return to the IRS as soon as possible, since not doing it on time means you will have to pay a fine and a penalty. Remember that if you are outside the official calendar it is also possible to send the Tax Return, but it is advisable to do it within the established time to avoid all kinds of economic problems.
