It’s important to remember that Tax Day has been moved and now the deadline to file and pay your federal taxes is July 15. Therefore, any tax payment originally planned for April 15 can be made before July 15 without interests or penalties, regardless of the amount.
This extension has been automatically applied to all taxpayers, so you don’t have to contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), file additional forms or take any further action in order to take advantage of it.
Benefits of Filing Electronically
If you are due a tax refund, then you should file your taxes electronically. This option is easy, accurate and safe, since all information is protected with modern encryption technology.
When you file electronically you get your refund faster. Most taxpayers who file electronically get their refund within 21 days. On the other hand, those who mail a paper tax return must wait six weeks or more. If you owe taxes, make sure to pay before July to 15 to reduce interests and avoid fines.
Keep in Mind State Taxes
Finally, keep in mind that this extension applies only to federal income returns and tax payments. For state taxes, the IRS encourages taxpayers to check with their state tax agency in order to verify payment and filing dates.
