You should file anyway. If you are unable to file electronically, you should file a paper return. The widely publicized deadline is actually the cutoff date to file without a late filing penalty. Paper returns are accepted for several more years. The penalty applies only if you owe money that should have been paid when you (should have) filed. If you are entitled to a refund, then there is no penalty for lateness. However, if you are extremely late (several years), then you do not get the refund. |

File them anyway--they'll just be late and you'll have to pay.
Try a tax company's website! They'll walk you through the process. |

File as soon as possible. If you owe anything, you'll pay penalties, but the later you file, the larger the penalty. |

File it asap. If you are getting a refund you have 3 years to file. If you owe get it done asap to minimize any penalties. Too late to efile. |

File now and expect a notice detailing any penalty/interest and plan to pay that as well. |

If you are required to file, then get to a CPA as soon as possible and get it done. Waiting won't make it better.

File your tax return. You must file if you meet the filing requirement. If you file after April 15, 2011, you will not get any refund. |

File now! You will not be eligible for the stimulus rebate since you didn't file by Oct. 15th, 2008, but will be able to qualify in your 2008 return, visit IRS website www.irs.gov for more information on how to claimt he stimulus on 2008 return.
don't listen to people that say you have 3 years to file your return if you are due a refund, because IRS will send you notices to file your return, because IRS doesn't know if you are due a refund until you file your return.
File now. |

also, it depends on your tax situation...if you are due a refund there will be no penalty or interest...if you have a balance due then you will incur penalty and interest on that balance due...and again, depending on your specific situation, you probably don't need a cpa...unless you have a high revenue business or make a lot of money and have a complicated tax situation, i.e. trusts, rental property, lots of stock/bond/mutual fund trades, etc then you don't need a cpa...save your money, any tax preparer can handle the vast majority of tax returns. |

By law you have until April 15th to file your Federal 1040. Should you get and extension you have until October 15th to file your Federal 1040. If you have not filed as of yet, your late. Expect penalties and interest to be added to your return and you may not be entitled to the extra check you missed out on. Anyway you need to file your return ASAP. If you are in New Jersey contact me, IM is bobjohn51. |
