April 18th Deadline Approaches

April 1, 2011

Good News!  You have a few more days to file your 2010 personal income tax returns— that is, Forms 1040, 1040a or 1040EZ.  The deadline this year is April 18th, a few days later than the usual April 15th deadline.  But if an extra weekend will still not allow you the ability to have your taxes completed and filed on time, then you may consider filing an extension.

Requesting an extension, using Form 4868, provides you an extra six months to file your completed return.  Your final tax return would be due October 17th.   Yet, don’t forget that even if you are filing an extension regarding the submission of your tax return, it should NOT be thought of as an extension on your obligation to pay.  If you don’t pay what you owe to the IRS for your 2010 taxes by April 18th, you face penalties and interest.

The IRS has more details available online on this year’s tax deadlines.
