Filing Your Taxes Getting Too Complicated? Get a Tax Extension!

Everyone’s Tax Return is unique to them, and each year there seems to be more and more information to organize. Although your taxesmay have been simple in the past, it’s likely to get more and more detailed each year.  For every major life event,taxes get more complicated.  For example, if you have a child, adopt a child, buy a house, pay for college, or start a business (to name a few) your taxes become more complicated.

Due to the increased complications involved in filing a tax return, each year more and more people are filing Tax Extensions for their Personal, Business, and Non-Profit Tax Returns.  The IRS accepts Personal Tax Extensions by filing a Form 4868. This allows individuals 6 additional months to file their tax return.  Business Tax Extensions are filed with the IRS by usingForm 7004.  This allows businesses an additional 5-6 months to file their tax returns.  Non-Profit organizations can also extend their tax deadline by filing anIRS Form 8868.  This provides Non-Profit Organizations an automatic 3 Month Extension.  They may then file for a Non-Automatic additional 3 month extension after that.

These easy options allow individuals and businesses to properly organize all of their necessary tax documents so that they can be sure that they are receiving the appropriateTax Credits, and paying the right amount.  Tax Professionals appreciate it when peoplefile for an extension, rather than bombard an already busy person with much more work on the busiest week of their year.  This is another incentive for individuals and organizations to file for a tax extension; accountants and tax professionals are less busy in the summer months than in April.  Most tax preparers are neck deep in paperwork by the time the tax deadline rolls around.

Fortunately, these IRS Tax Extension Forms can also be E-Filed online.Extensiontax.com allows Individuals, Businesses, and Non-Profit Organizations to file Tax Extensions with the IRS.  The beauty of E-Filing is that there is no need to leave your home or office, buy postage, or risk it getting lost in the mail.  According to the IRS, E-Filing is the easiest, fastest, and most secure way to file any IRS Form.

Millions of people e-file their tax extension forms every year. The IRS has a digital initiative–a push to get up to 80 percent of their forms online–and tax extensions are included in that. E-filing a federal personal, business and nonprofit tax extension with Form 4868, 7004and 8868 is quick and easy. A tax extension extends the time to file, not to pay taxes (if they are owed).

What is Form 4868 All About?

File your tax extension online!

April 17th is the deadline to file your income tax return, but if you are not able to file the return by the deadline. What should you do? File an extension, of course.

You can automatically extend the April 17 due date to October 15 by filing Form 4868, “Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.” So now you have six more months to file your personalincome tax return.

The good thing about Form 4868 is that simply filing this form grants an automatic, no-questions-asked 6-month extension. You don’t have to have a reason. Just sending this form to the IRS on or before April 17 gets you the extra six months.
But here’s another important point about Form 4868: This 6-month extension is NOT an extension to pay any tax you may owe on the tax return. Form 4868 only grants an extension of time to file the tax return.
So, if you usually get a refund on your personal tax return, you are OK. But, if you think you might have a balance due, or if you are not sure, then you should go ahead and prepare the return to the best of your ability, do the calculations, and see where you stand.

If you are getting a refund, great!  If you’re not in a hurry to get the refund, then file theextension form and wait until October 15 to send in the return. But if you have a balance due on the return, then you should send in your balance due with Form 4868. That way you avoid any penalty and interest for late payment of tax.

When October 15 rolls around, you send in the return, showing the Form 4868 payment as a credit. The end result is this: you paid your tax on time (April 17), and you filed yourtax return legally late (October 15) because you filed the extension form on time.

Obviously, the key here is whether or not you have a balance due on your return. If you have a balance due, but don’t send in the payment with Form 4868, then you will have penalty and interest charges for paying the tax after April 15.Bottom line: Do not overlook the fact that Form 4868 does not grant you an extension of time to pay the tax. It only gives you an extension of time to file the return.

The easiest way to get additional time for filing your tax is now available!!

Take six additional months time (until October 15, 2012) to file your tax with no penalty by just filing extension form 4868. It is easy, safe and simple.

Use Form 4868 to request an automatic extension of time to file a U.S. individual income tax return. The extension will be granted if you properly estimate your tax liability using the information available to you. Enter your total tax liability on Form 4868, and file Form 4868 by the regular due date of your return (April 18th).

Although you are not required to make the full payment of the tax you estimate as due, Form 4868 does not extend the time to pay taxes. If you do not pay the amount due by the regular due date, you will owe interest. You should pay as much as you can to limit the amount of interest you will owe. You may also be charged penalties.

IRS extends tax filing deadline to April 17

The IRS is giving taxpayers two extra days to get their taxes turned in this year.

While Tax Day typically falls on April 15, the IRS announced Wednesday that it is pushing back this year’s filing deadline to Tuesday, April 17.

The extension was granted because April 15 falls on a Sunday this year, and Monday is Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington D.C. that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district. Last year, Tax Day was extended until April 18, also thanks to Emancipation Day.

Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Oct. 15 to file their 2011 tax returns. The IRS said it expects to receive more than 144 million individual tax returns this year, with the majority projected to be submitted by the new April 17 deadline

In order to get an extension, you need to file Form 4868 with the IRS through www.tax4868.com/www.ExtensionTax.com. Paid prepares can also electronically file Form 4868 through our service. All it takes is just minutes to complete and get easy 6-months extension.

Facts about Form 8868!

The official name of the form is “Form 8868 : Application for Extension of time to file an Exempt Organization Return“.

File Your Tax Extensions Online

Form 8868 is used by an exempt organization to request an automatic 3-month extension of time (6 months for a corporation required to file Form 990-T) to file its return and also to apply for an additional (not automatic) 3-month extension if the original 3-month extension was not enough. Also, the trustee of a trust required to file Form 1041-A or Form 5227 must use Form 8868 to request an extension of time to file those returns.

You cannot apply for both the automatic 3-month extension and the additional (not automatic) 3-month extension at the same time.

Use Form 8868 to apply for an automatic 3-month extension of time to file an organization’s return, and submit the original form to the IRS (no copies are needed). Or for applying for an additional (not automatic) 3-month extension.

The automatic 3-month extension (6 months for a corporation required to file Form 990-T) will be granted if this form is properly completed, filed, and any balance due on line 3c is paid by the due date for the return for which the extension applies.

File Form 8868 by the due date of the return for the form you are requesting an extension, or, in the case of an additional 3-month extension, by the extended due date of the return. When requesting an additional extension of time to file, file Form 8868 early so that if your request is denied you can still file your return on time.

An organization will only be allowed a total extension of 6 months for a return for a tax year.

Automatic 3- month (6 month in Case Corporation required to file form 990-T) can be electronically filed. However, you cannot file Form 8868 electronically if you want the additional (not automatic) 3-month extension or you are filing extension request for Forms 990-BL, 6069, or 8870, group returns, or a composite or consolidated Form 990-T.
