Taxpayers who owe tax<\/strong> Filing soon is very important because the late-filing and late-payment penalties and interest on unpaid taxes add up quickly. Some taxpayers filing after the deadline may qualify for penalty relief. For those charged a penalty, they may contact the IRS by calling the number on their notice and explain why they couldn’t file and pay on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taxpayers who have a history of filing and paying on time often qualify for administrative penalty relief. A taxpayer usually qualifies if they have filed and paid promptly for the past three years and meet other requirements. For details, taxpayers should visit the first-time penalty abatement page<\/a> on IRS.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If taxpayers find that they owe taxes, they can review their available payment options<\/a>. The IRS has options for taxpayers who can’t pay taxes<\/a> they owe. Information on reducing the amount of interest owed is on the interest abatement<\/a> page of IRS.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Military personnel can still use MilTax<\/strong> Some taxpayers have extra time<\/strong> Taxpayers who weren\u2019t required to file<\/strong> Taxpayers who missed the recent April filing and payment deadline should know their obligations and the possible consequences if they don\u2019t file or have an overdue tax bill.

<\/strong>Tax owed and not paid by April 18, 2023, is subject to penalties<\/a> and interest<\/a>. Anyone who didn’t file and owes tax should file a return as soon as they can and pay as much as they can to reduce penalties and interest. Electronic filing options, including IRS Free File<\/a>, are still available on IRS.gov through October 16, 2023, to prepare and file returns electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The military community can also file their taxes using MilTax<\/a>, a free tax resource offered through the Department of Defense. Eligible taxpayers<\/a> can use MilTax to electronically file a federal tax return and up to three state returns for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Some taxpayers may have extra time to file their tax returns and pay any taxes due. This includes some disaster victims<\/a>, taxpayers living overseas<\/a>, certain military service members<\/a> and eligible support personnel in combat zones<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Some people may choose not to file a tax return because they didn’t earn enough money to be required to file<\/a>. Generally, they won’t receive a penalty if they are owed a refund, but they risk missing out on their refund<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
