It is extremely important to file your taxes ON TIME if you owe money whether or not you can pay. The penalty for failure to file on time is TEN TIMES as much as the penalty you will pay if you file but don't pay. People who can't pay their taxes often don't file. That is the most foolish mistake you can make and it will cost you big bucks. File and send as much as you can. Try to make other arrangements to pay the balance, but even if you can't make arrangements or pay anything, file on time.

I don't owe taxes Should I fill out a Form 4868?
Any 4868 that should have been file was due to be postmarked before April 15 2010. You do have until October 15 2010 to file the 2009 1040 federal income tax return and you will NOT be charged any penalties and interest if you do NOT OWE any income taxes when you file the 2009 income tax return after April 15 2010.
Can you still file your taxes even if you owe the IRS?
The IRS definitely wants people who owe them money to file their taxes. Also note: today (as I type) is April 4th, so you are not yet late for 2013.
Will you get penalized or fined if you do not submit your taxes on time?
Yes. If you owe money and can't pay, at least file on time. Then you may be charged some interest, but no penalty.
If you don't owe any taxes do you have to file for an extension just to file the paperwork after the April deadline?
No, you don't need to file an extension if you don't owe the IRS any money. You only need to file an extension if you need more time to pay. The current law is you have three years to file for a refund and after that you forfeit it to the IRS. The IRS does not charge penalties to people that are owed refunds even if they are filing after due date (usually April 15). Just make sure you file within the 3 years. But if you owe money, even if you file an extension, if you do NOT pay by April 15, then you will owe interest and penalties on the money you owe. The extension is form 4868 and can be filed online through IRS.gov e-file, or by mailing in the form. The extension is NOT an extension for time to PAY, it is just an extension for time to file. Even if you are owed a refund, the IRS says that you are "required" to file if you made over the standard deduction. But in all reality, if they owe you money, they don't want to see you get it. If they owe you money, they don't care when or if you file, but they do like to keep tabs on you. There will be no penalties.
Do you have to file federal and state taxes?
It depends. If you owe money to the government, then yes. Otherwise, no.
