TODAY (Monday, April 15th), is the deadline, to file 2023 Federal Income Taxes.
Also, it is the deadline to file your 2023 state income tax return. According to the IRS – roughly 68% of taxpayers have already filed their tax returns, but for those who have procrastinated, you have until 11:59 tonight to file.
If you just aren’t ready and simply cannot file your taxes today – you can file Form 4868 to get an automatic six-month extension to file. This is only a filing extension.
If you DO owe taxes, you’ll still need to send a payment to the IRS, before midnight in order to avoid any penalties and interest; if you’re expecting money back from the government the IRS says the average tax refund for this year, is around $3,000.
