Or, you can watch our video at the bottom of this blog. Tax day is not the only deadline for April 17th, read more to find out all the deadlines that are springing up.
Did you file your tax return yet?
So, your return is not finished yet? Are you still waiting for some missing information? You do not want to miss Tax Day even if it is to file an extension! Speaking of extensions, why not consider filing an extension? No matter what, make sure you file any any tax due? The extenstion gives your until October 15th, to file. (Sorry, there are no Washington DC holiday’s to delay that date). However, please note there is NO extension for paying on any tax due, so any money you owe and have not paid by the April due date will be subject to penalties and interest.
Are you considering an IRA Contribution?
While we are at it, are you considering an IRA contribution for last year? That contribution must be done by April 17th as well.
April 17th is also the ast day you can file a 2014 return for a refund; after that date you forfeit any potential refund.
For those self-employed or have income without withholding, (Sorry we are closed sign), April 17th is also the due date for the first 2018 estimated tax payment.
