Every January, a collective shiver ripples through the nation as individuals and businesses alike face the looming specter of tax season. But fear not, brave taxpayers! With a little knowledge and planning, navigating the deadlines and avoiding penalties can be less nerve-wracking than conquering your New Year’s resolutions.
Individuals:
April 15th: The classic, the granddaddy of all deadlines. This is the date your federal income tax return is due, along with any estimated tax payments for the next year. Miss it, and prepare for late filing penalties and interest that can snowball faster than a rogue holiday cookie.
June 15th: If you owe more than $1,000 in taxes, you have an extension until this date to file (but not to pay!). But remember, interest still accrues, so settle up quick!
October 15th: This is the deadline for estimated tax payments for the current year. Don’t underestimate your income or you might find yourself playing financial catch-up come April.
Businesses:
March 1st: Businesses filing on paper have an earlier deadline for corporate income tax returns. Don’t get caught scrambling for receipts at the last minute!
March 15th: This is the electronic filing deadline for both corporations and partnerships. Take advantage of the digital ease and avoid that post office stampede.
April 15th: Still applies to some business extensions and estimated tax payments, so keep those dates in mind!
