For the 2009 tax year this would be possible if your federal income tax amount owed was less than 1000 and the payment amount that was mailed was postmarked before midnight April 15 2010.

The correct date today is April 23 2010.

When do taxes come out?

Taxes must be filed or in the mail by midnight on April 15th, every year.


You owe money on federal taxes when is it due?

If you still owe money on your 2008 income taxes, it is due April 15, 2009. Important: Even if you can't pay, you must file on time. If you don't file on time (April 15), the penalty will be TEN TIMES as much as the penalty for not paying. Send what you can with your return. But even if you can't send anything, still file. If you can't complete your return, file Form 4868 by April 15. In fact, print it out and mail it right now. It doesn't hurt to file it even if you don't need to. It will take you only a minute to complete it: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf You don't have to send any money with your extension, but penalties and interest will start to accumulate on any unpaid balance after April 15. Filing this form by April 15 will avoid the much more severe penalty for not filing as long as you file by October 15 (whether or not you pay).


What if you forget to incude your payment with your taxes?

Complete 1040-V payment voucher and mail it immediately. I would suggest including a letter of explanation with it so that you might not be assessed a penalty for not paying when filed.

Living Outside the United States?

If you are living outside of the United States during tax season, then you will automatically be given 2 extra months for the filing of your taxes. There is no need to file your taxes by the traditional April 15 deadline. Instead, you will be able to file your taxes at any time after without penalty from the IRS. The IRS figures that people who are abroad face greater challenges in having access to the internet and mail systems. You should still try to submit taxes as early as possible to receive your tax refund from the government if you are entitled to one.


Will you have to pay a fine if you mail your taxes on April 16 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 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.
