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.

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.

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.

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).

After contacting the employer, allow a reasonable amount of time for them to resend or to issue the W-2.

2. Contact the IRS If you do not receive your W-2 by February 14th, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When you call, you must provide your name, address, city and state, including zip code, Social Security number, phone number and have the following information:

• Employer’s name, address, city and state, including zip code and phone number

• Dates of employment

• An estimate of the wages you earned, the federal income tax withheld, and when you worked for that employer during 2011. The estimate should be based on year-to-date information from your final pay stub or leave-and-earnings statement, if possible.

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.
