Issue Number: Tax Tip 2024-36If taxpayers missed the deadline to file a federal tax return, the IRS can help Taxpayers who missed the April tax filing and payment deadline should file as soon as they can. The IRS offers resources to help those who may be unable to pay their tax bill in total. Those who missed the deadline to file but owe taxes should file quickly to minimize penalties and interest. Taxpayers should keep in mind that payments are still due by the April 15 deadline, even if they requested an extension of time to file a tax return. An extension to file is not an extension to pay. Depending on their circumstances, some taxpayers have more time to file and pay. Taxpayers who owe tax Even if a taxpayer can’t afford to immediately pay the full amount of taxes owed, they should still file a tax return and pay as much as possible. This reduces interest and penalties on the outstanding amount and may help avoid a possible late-filing penalty. There are options for taxpayers who owe the IRS but cannot afford to pay. For more information see the penalties page on IRS.gov. Taxpayers may qualify for penalty relief if they have filed and paid timely for the past three years and meet other important requirements, including paying or arranging to pay any tax due. For more information, see the first-time penalty abatement page on IRS.gov. Taxpayers who don’t owe tax or are owed a refund There’s no penalty for filing after the April 15 deadline if a refund is due. However, taxpayers due a refund should still consider filing as soon as possible. Members of the military community can still use MilTax Some taxpayers have extra time
