*Most taxpayers who requested an extension to file their 2021 tax return must file by Oct. 17*
Time is running out. The October 17 filing extension deadline is just days away. Most taxpayers who requested an extension of time to file their 2021 tax return must file by Monday to avoid the penalty for filing late. This year, the IRS received about 19 million requests for extensions to file until October 17 and urges people to file electronically [ [link removed] ].
Extension filers who owe taxes should pay as much as possible to reduce interest and penalties. Those who have yet to file a 2021 tax return, owe tax, and did not request an extension, can generally avoid additional penalties and interest by filing the return and paying any taxes owed as soon as possible.
*Some groups who have additional time to file*.
* People who have a extension and are in ? or affected by ? a federally-declared disaster area may be allowed?more time to file [ [link removed] ]
* Special deadline exceptions may apply for?certain military service members [ [link removed] ]?and?eligible support personnel in combat zones [ [link removed] ].?Several?resources [ [link removed] ]?are available for service members and their families who may be eligible for these exceptions.?
*Here are a few resources on IRS.gov to help last-minute filers*:
* *IRS Free File* [ [link removed] ]?? Available through October 17, IRS e-file is easy, safe and the most accurate way to file taxes. There are eight Free File products available in English and two in Spanish. Filing electronically can also help taxpayers determine their?earned income tax credit [ [link removed] ],?child and dependent care credit [ [link removed] ], and?recovery rebate credit [ [link removed] ]. ?
* *Online Payments* [ [link removed] ]?? Taxpayers can pay online using IRS Direct Pay [ [link removed] ] at no cost or use a debit card, credit card or Digital Wallet, which may be subject to a payment processing fee. If they?re filing through tax software or a tax preparer, taxpayers can schedule a payment when filing. If taxpayers have a balance and are unable to pay it now, they should apply for a payment plan [ [link removed] ]. The IRS has more information for taxpayers who can?t afford to pay the taxes they owe [ [link removed] ]. ?
* *Online Account* [ [link removed] ]?? Individual taxpayers can log into their online account to view key information from their most recent tax return, such as their adjusted gross income and their economic impact payment amounts, which may help in preparing and filing their return. They can also view the amount they owe, payment history including estimated tax payments, their payment plan details and options, digital copies of certain notices, their address on file and authorization requests from tax professionals.
