If you expect a tax refund do you need to file an extension?

If you are due a refund it is not necessary to file for an extension to file your income tax return. An extension of time to file your income tax return is NOT an extension of time to pay any amount of income tax that would be due April 15 2010.

You Still Have To File?

If you think that you may be late on getting your tax return in before the April deadline, file for an extension on taxes. It is easy to do and most of the time you will be granted an extension.

It only means that you have a short extension after April.

When must you file your federal income tax?

You can file for federal income tax anytime before April 15th 2011, which is the last date for filing federal tax return. However, If you feel that you need more time for tax filing, then you have the option of tax extension.

How do you request an extension of the deadline for filing your tax return?

You can get an automatic six-month extension of the deadline for filing your income tax return. To request an extension, submit Form 4868 (Application for Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return). It's important to remember that the extension gives you extra time for getting your tax return in order for the IRS. But it doesn't extend the time you have to pay tax due (if you're not getting a refund). Any amount not paid by the April deadline is assessed interest. A late payment penalty is charged if you haven't paid at least 90 percentof your total tax by the April deadline. If your return is completed but you can't pay the full amount of tax due, the IRS wants you to file your return on time and pay as much as you can at that time.

Extensions for filing your income tax return are due by the date that your return is due. Returns reporting 2009 income are due by April 15, 2010 in your tax year ended on December 31. To request an extension, you need to file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Income Tax Return. But an extension of time doesn't grant an extension of time to pay your tax liability. If you owe taxes, they're considered due this year by April 15.
