Form 4868: Requesting an Extension of Time to File

 

If you need additional time to complete your 2011 tax return, you may request an automatic six monthextension until October 15, 2012.

The Internal Revenue Service requires that you request an extension of time to file whether you owe additional taxes or not. Generally, there are no penalties or interest assessed on zero balance or refund returns.No interest or penalties will be charged if you:

  • File for an extension by April 17, 2012,
  • Pay your tax liability by April 17, 2012.

Penalty and Interest Charges on Tax Owed:

Those who do not pay at least 90% of the amount due on or before April 17, 2012 will be subject to the following penalties:

Late Payment Penalty. If you do not pay at least 90% of your balance by April 17, 2012, you will be assessed a penalty of 0.5% of your unpaid taxes for each month, or part of a month, from April 17 until the balance is paid, to a maximum of 25%.

Late Filing Penalty. If you do not file your return by the due date (including extensions), you may have to pay a failure-to-file penalty. The penalty is 5.0% of the unpaid balance for each month or part of a month that a return is late, to a maximum of 25%. If your return is more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $100 or the balance of the tax due on your return, whichever is smaller.

File Electronically. Most taxpayers file electronically. If you haven’t tried it, now is the time! The IRS has processed more than 1 billion individual tax returns safely and securely since the nationwide debut of electronic filing in 1990. In fact, 112 million people — 77 percent of all individual taxpayers — used e-file last year.

You should e-file a federal tax extension for Tax Year 2011 by April 17, 2012, the same day as the deadline to e-file a 2011 Tax Return. Once you have e-filed your federal tax extension and it was not accepted, have a grace period of 5 days after that to correct your tax extension and e-file it again. For tax year 2011, the tax extension grace period ends April 22, 2012. So please make sure you keep checking your extension status after you have e-filed it in your extensiontax.com account. If you e-file a tax extension, your new deadline to e-file a 2011 Tax Return will be October 15, 2012.

Tips: After April 17, 2012 you can no longer e-file a tax extension.

Tax Deadline Extended To April 17 2012.

The deadline to file personal tax returns with the IRS for the 2012 Tax Season has been extended to Tuesday, April 17, 2012. The traditional deadline of April 15 falls on a Sunday this year. Since April 15th falls on a weekend, the official deadline had to be changed. It could not be the following Monday (April 16) either due to the fact that April 16th is Emancipation Day. Emancipation Day is considered to be a holiday for the District of Columbia, and Federal Law declares that agencies such as the IRS must observe such holidays of the District of Columbia.

This will be the second year in a row in which the deadline for most tax returns will not be on the traditional deadline of April 15. Tax returns were also later last year due to the Emancipation Day holiday.The same deadline applies to anyone filing a Personal Tax Extension as well as a normal tax return. If a Tax Extension is applied for, this does notpostpone the tax payment. It only extends the time in which to file the tax return itself with the IRS.

Any taxes due must still be paid by April 17 deadline, but with a tax extension, the completed return does not need to be filed until October 15. This 6 month extensionallows tax preparers and others to get the most out of any credits and refunds.One of the easiest ways to apply for a tax extension is through www.Extensiontax.com The Fast and Easy-To-use System makes tax extensions simple and easy.  The entire process takes only a few minutes to complete.

IRS Terms That You Need To Know When You File For An Extension!

Filing a Tax Extension is very simple when you use Extensiontax.com.  All that is required to file it is basic information about your business.  There are few terms that one needs to know before submitting a Tax Extension for a Business, Individual, or Nonprofit Organization.

IRS Form 7004: This form is used by businesses such as Multi-Member LLCs, C Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships, Trusts, and Estates.  This is commonly referred to as a form forBusiness Tax Extensions.  This IRS Form gives aTax Extension of 5 – 6 months.

IRS Form 4868: This form is used for filing Individual or Personal Tax Extensions.  This IRS form gives a Tax Extension of 6 months for personal returns, 1099 Contractors, Sole Proprietorship’s, and Single-Member LLCs.

IRS Form 8868: This form is used by Non-Profit and Exempt Organizations.This IRS form is used to apply for an automatic 3 month tax extension or a non-automatic (additional) 3 month extension.

Tax Extensions: Filing for a Extension with the IRS extends the amount of time to file a Tax Return.  It does not extend the amount of time to pay taxes.  The IRS wants the taxes to be paid by the traditional filing deadlines.

Filing Status: If you are filing for an individual tax extension, it is required to list your filing status (married filing jointly, single, married filing separately, etc.).The same way if you are filing an Extension for a business or nonprofit organization, it is required to list your business or organization’s type and the specific tax form that will be filed.

Business Tax Year: It is common to use the calendar year as the business tax year but that is not the case for every Business.If a business follows a different tax period, that needs to be specified.  Also if a business was started or ended during the year, its tax period may be shorter than a full year and that needs to be specified too.

Estimated Tax Amount: A Tax Extension extends only the amount of time to file a tax return.  It does not extend the amount of time to pay taxes.  Therefore, you need to pay the full Tax amount that is due to the IRS by the traditional deadline.

No Time To File Tax Return? File For a Tax Extension!!

Every year brings new tax season and along with it great stress and anxiety among tax payers. Why? Because tax season means collecting tax papers, doing complex calculations, contacting IRS and etc. Result? Stress, time consumption and more stress. Did you know that during the tax season, most of the people lose on their sleep and hence suffer health consequences?

If you are going through the same situation then I say stop NOW. Your health and peace of mind is more important. Keep your papers aside, stop all your calculations and relax. You don’t have to stress over your taxes because you have the option to get your tax return due dates extended by 6months. Yes, you heard it. You have till October 15th to file your tax return. Wondering how is this possible? Simple, get hold of tax extension form and file it with the IRS.

There are 2 types of tax extension forms.

Personal tax extension Form 4868 : This form is used by individuals, single member LLCs, sole proprietors, 1099 filers and etc to get an automatic 6 month extension on their tax filing due dates. Efile form 4868 and say goodbye to your April 17th tax return deadline.

Business tax extension Form 7004: This form is used by corporations, multi member LLCs, partnership firms and etc to file their business tax returns on a later date. If you think that you won’t be able to collect all the tax papers to file your return by the due date, go for IRS tax extension. Refer to the tax extension deadlines for 2012 for further details.

NOTE: Many people believe that filing tax extension will give them more time to pay their taxes. However, that is NOT true. Getting a 6 months extension to file your tax returndoes not allow you more time to pay your taxes. If you think you owe IRS taxes, make sure you pay them along with your tax extension form 4868 or form7004

There are 2 ways to file for tax extension: Paper filing and Electronic filing.

Many years back, paper filing was the only option to file tax returns and extension but due to its complexities and disadvantages, IRS introduced the efile option which is highly recommended worldwide. Want to find out how?

If you opt for paper file method for tax extension filing, you would first have to download the form, fill in the form (search Google for tax extension instructions). Do complex calculations to find out tax amount due to IRS, post the tax extension form back to IRS along with your tax amount cheque and even if your tax extension is approved, you won’t get any acknowledgement from IRS.

Imagine the complexities paper filing carries with it, along with huge costs and time consumption. Besides that paper file depletes our environment. Every year thousands of trees are sacrificed so that more and more paper can be produced. But if you stop paper filing, it would be a boon for the environment.

Electronic filing, on the other hand is super quick, easy and secure. Moreover, if you efile tax extension, then IRS will also provide you acknowledgment via email within few days. Efile is fast, saves time and is cost effective with extensiontax.com

IRS Reminds Parents of Ten Tax Benefits

www.extensiontax.com

Your kids can be helpful at tax time. That doesn’t mean they’ll sort your tax receipts or refill your coffee, but those charming children may help you qualify for some valuable tax benefits.

Here are 10 things the IRS wants parents to consider when filing their taxes this year.

1. Dependents In most cases, a child can be claimed as a dependent in the year they were born.

2. Child Tax Credit You may be able to take this credit for each of your children under age 17. If you do not benefit from the full amount of the Child Tax Credit, you may be eligible for the                                                                       Additional Child Tax Credit.

3. Child and Dependent Care Credit You may be able to claim this credit if you pay someone to care for your child or children under age 13 so that you can work or look for work.

4. Earned Income Tax Credit The EITC is a tax benefit for certain people who work and have earned income from wages, self-employment or farming. EITC reduces the amount of tax you owe and may also give you a refund.

5. Adoption Credit You may be able to take a tax credit for qualifying expenses paid to adopt an eligible child. If you claim the adoption credit, you must file a paper tax return with required adoption-related documents.

6. Children with earned income If your child has income earned from working, they may be required to file a tax return.

7. Children with investment income Under certain circumstances a child’s investment income may be taxed at their parent’s tax rate.

8. Higher education credits Education tax credits can help offset the costs of higher education. The American Opportunity and the Lifetime Learning Credits are education credits that can reduce your federal income tax dollar-for-dollar.

9. Student loan interest You may be able to deduct interest paid on a qualified student loan, even if you do not itemize your deductions.

10. Self-employed health insurance deduction If you were self-employed and paid for health insurance, you may be able to deduct any premiums you paid for coverage for any child of yours who was under age 27 at the end of the year, even if the child was not your dependent.

Forms and publications on these topics are available at www.irs.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).
