Filing and payment are 2 different things. You must pay your estimated tax, through withholding or filing a 1040-ES with payment (quarterly), during the year, or face penalties and interest when you do file/pay. Returns are due by April 15. Any remaining payment is due then too. However, as long as you're paid in, or make that 4/15 payment, getting a 6 month extension of time to complete the forms is automatic and easy.

Can you file your taxes if you owe without paying right away?

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.


If you earned income for the whole year while in a penal institution do you still file income taxes?

Sure. The fact that you were incarcerated does not exempt you from filing income taxes and paying tax on your income. It does prevent you from claiming many of the tax credits such as Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit as you cannot claim that you supported your children or that they lived with you during this time.
