What if I miss a tax deadline?

If you missed one of these key tax deadlines, you have options. Those options depend on the deadline missed and whether you owe money or are due a refund.

What happens if you miss the tax filing deadline and are owed a refund?

If you are due a refund for the 2022 tax year, there's typically no penalty for filing your tax return late. However, you should file as soon as possible.

Generally, you have three years from the tax return due date to claim a tax refund. That means for 2022 tax returns, the window closes in 2025.

What happens if you miss the tax filing deadline and owe taxes?

When you miss a tax filing deadline and owe money to the IRS, you should file your tax return as soon as possible. Every day your tax return is delinquent, the IRS typically charges interest, failure to file penalties and failure to pay penalties until you file your return and pay the balance due.

What happens if you miss an estimated tax payment deadline?

If you miss an estimated tax payment, make your payment as soon as you can. The penalties and interest the IRS charges depend on how much you owe and how late you are, but you can minimize the damage by making your payment as soon as possible.

What if I owe more than I can pay?

Don't put off filing just because you can't afford to pay the amount due on the day you need to file your tax return. The IRS starts charging penalties and interest on the day the return is due, no matter when you file. You can minimize failure to file penalties by filing as soon as possible, paying as much as you can when you file, and setting up an installment plan for the balance.

What's the fastest way to file my tax return?

The fastest and most accurate way to file your tax return is to file electronically.

E-filing your tax return with the IRS is more secure than paper filing. Because the tax return is electronically transmitted to the IRS, you don't have to worry about it getting lost in the mail or arriving late. You'll also get confirmation right away that the IRS has received your return and has started processing it.

If you're waiting for a tax refund, the fastest way to get your money is to have it electronically deposited into your bank account. The IRS typically issues 90% of refunds in less than 21 days when taxpayers combine direct deposit with electronic filing.

What if I need more time?

Don't let a looming tax deadline force you to rush through the tax filing process and make a mistake on your return. Simply request an extension.

Just keep in mind, the tax extension gives you more time to file your return, not more time to pay the tax you owe. You'll need to estimate the amount you owe and make your payment by the tax filing deadline even if you file an extension.

Form W-9: Do I REALLY Need It?

Chances are as a small business owner you’ve heard of Form W-9...and if not, there’s good news – I’m about to tell you all about it 😉 . Maybe you’ve been requested to provide it to a customer, or maybe I’ve asked you to get one for a contractor you’ve paid.   But do you understand why you’re requesting this form (or why it’s being requested of you), and what its purpose is? The Form W-9 essentially is an informational form that helps with Form 1099-MISC processing (that’s our primary focus here at least). The W-9 lists the person’s/company’s name, entity type, address, taxpayer identification number (either SSN or EIN), and signature certification. This gives all of the necessary information needed to file a Form 1099-MISC, other than the actual dollar amount paid to the person/company during the year (which should be available in your accounting records). It also certifies that the person/business is not subject to backup withholding , which essentially means that you as the
