Reminders for last-minute filing

As the tax deadline nears, the IRS published reminders for taxpayers who have not yet filed, including:
  • File and pay on time. (An additional note: even if you can't pay, file a return or extension by April 15, as the penalties for late filing are significatly higher than those for late payment, as we discussed in a recent post. More information on penalties is also available on our website.)
  • File Electronically
  • Use IRS Free File
  • Choose Direct Deposit
  • Make Sure Your Paper Return is Error-Free
  • Pay Electronically
  • Request an Extension of Time to File
  • Apply for an Installment Agreement
  • Avoid Scams

The full article is available at the IRS website.
