Today is Tax Day for 2024!

It’s that time of the year again – Tax Day 2024 has arrived! Today marks the deadline for filing your 2023 tax return or requesting an extension. Whether you’ve been diligently preparing your documents or find yourself scrambling at the last minute, now is the time to take action.

Filing your taxes by the deadline is crucial to avoid penalties and interest charges. If you’re unable to file by today, you can request an extension using Form 4868. This extension will grant you an additional six months, giving you until October 15, 2024, to file your return. Remember, while an extension provides more time to submit your return, it doesn’t extend the deadline for paying any taxes owed. Be sure to estimate and pay any owed taxes by the April 15 deadline to avoid penalties.

If you’re in need of assistance with your tax preparation, the IRS offers resources to help you find a qualified preparer. Their website provides a directory of authorized e-file providers and tax professionals who can assist you in preparing and filing your taxes accurately. Whether you prefer to work with a tax professional in person or use tax preparation software online, there are options available to suit your needs.

As you navigate Tax Day, remember that the IRS can help. Their website offers a wealth of information and resources to guide you through the tax filing process. From tax forms and publications to online tools and resources, you can find everything you need to fulfill your tax obligations accurately and efficiently.

So, whether you’re filing your return today or seeking an extension, take advantage of the resources available to you. By meeting the April 15 deadline, you’ll ensure compliance with tax laws and avoid unnecessary penalties. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the IRS or a qualified tax professional. Happy Tax Day, and best wishes for a successful filing season!
