Is there a fee for filing income taxes in Alabama late if you're owed a refund?
When you are due a refund and fail to file your income tax return to claim the refund amount that you are due they do not charge the penalty because if you fail to claim the amount it will eventually be lost.
If you file your taxes late can you still get a return?
Yes when you are due a refund you have up to 3 years from the due date of the income tax return to file your income tax return and get any refund that may be due. After that time period the refund amount is lost and no longer available to you.
How late can you postmark your income taxes before it's too late?
Federal income taxes are due by April 15 if your tax year ends on December 31st of the previous year. If April 15 falls on a weekend, then the return is due by the next business day. As long as your income tax return envelope is postmarked by midnight on the due date, it isn't considered late. So, for example, if your envelope is postmarked April 16, 2010, it is already considered late.
What is the statute of limitations on filing a tax return if you were incarcerated?
The requirement to file tax returns do not change if one is incarcerated, nor is there an exemption to the penalties for filing late. The IRS will not normally provide refunds for years more than three years in the past, but they will collect balances due for as long as they have records. Of course, many inmates have little income and are not required to file a return for the years they are incarcerated.
Can I file this year's tax return without filing for previous years?
Yes. If you're required to file a return, you should go ahead and file for the current year so that it's on time. If you haven't filed for previous years because your income was below the required level for your filing status, you might still want to file to receive a refund of any income tax that was withheld. If you should have filed in previous years but didn't, then you should file as soon as possible to reduce late fees and penalties which most likely will be assessed.

You need to file two tax returns:A delinquent (late) return for the prior year, filed on prior year forms, andA current return for this year, filed on current year forms.Income tax years are separate and distinct. You cannot file a tax return using income and expenses from multiple years.
Will you still get child tax if your income tax is late?
Up to a certain point. You are responsible to file a tax return every year. If you don't the IRS will file it for you in the worst possible manner. You can file the correct return, but can only claim a refund for the current year plus the previous two years. Anything before that you are liable for taxes but cannot claim a refund.

To help the last minute taxpayers get the mailed income tax returns postmarked before the April 15 deadline for the filing of their income tax return and the paying of any income taxes that they may owe with the correctly completed income tax return.

How do you pay late taxes?
The same way that you would pay them if you were NOT late. Complete your 1040 federal income tax return correctly and send the payment amount to the correct IRS mailing address. You can find the correct mailing address on the last page of the 1040 instruction book that you are using. The IRS will send you a bill for any penalties and interest that may be due after they receive your late filed and paid income tax return and the payment amount.
If the IRS owes you how long do you have before the IRS does not have to pay you?
You can file a claim for refund within the later of:1. Three years after the tax return was originally due2. Two years after payment was made.If you had withholding from your paycheck, that is considered paid on the date that the return was due (so your withholdings from 2007 are considered paid on April 15, 2008).So right now, for individual income taxes you can only file a return and get a refund for 2006, 2007, and 2008 (you could have filed 2005 and gotten a refund still as late as April 15, 2009 because it was due on April 15, 2006). Note that this response was written in October 2009 for reference.
