It is never too early to start preparing for the April 15th tax deadline!
Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:

• File on Time: Even if you can't pay the full amount owed, file your return by the deadline to avoid the hefty failure-to-file penalty.
• File an Extension: If you need more time to file your return, you can request an automatic six-month extension using Form 4868 by the end of today. This pushes your filing deadline to October 15, but remember, it's not an extension to pay.
• Pay What You Can: Pay as much as possible to minimize interest and penalties on the remaining balance. The IRS offers various online payment options and payment plans.
• Owe a Refund? If the IRS owes you a refund, there's generally no penalty for filing late, but you could miss out on unclaimed credits if you wait too long.
