Best Answer

As a calendar year individual taxpayer filing a 1040 federal income tax return and you do NOT have any income tax liability or OWE any income taxes on your correctly completed income tax return the final date to file would be October 15 2010.

If you owe taxes and didn't file your tax return or request an extension by the April 15 deadline, you may face interest on any unpaid federal taxes you owe and a failure-to-file penalty. The IRS will deny a request for an extension that is filed after midnight on April 15. However, you should still file your tax return, even if it's late.

The failure-to-file penalty is 5 percent per month, or part of a month, of the balance due, up to a maximum of 25 percent. If the tax return is more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $135 or the balance due, whichever is less.

Interest and penalties add to the total amount you owe. The sooner you file, even if you can't pay all or some of the taxes due, the less you will owe.

More information about penalty and interest charges is contained in Chapter 1, Filing Information, of IRS Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax.

Go the IRS gov web site and use the search box for Publication 17 and go to chapter 1
