The deadline for taxpayers who requested an extension to file their 2017 tax return is Monday, October 15, 2018. For taxpayers who have not yet filed there is no need to panic, many helpful IRS resources are available on IRS.gov including:
These resources are all also available through the IRS2Go app. Taxpayers should keep copies of tax returns and all supporting documents for at least three years. Taxpayers can file earlier, but should file by October 15 to avoid a potential late filing penalty. Remember, an extension to file is not an extension to pay. Penalties and Interest might apply if taxpayers owed taxes and did not pay in a timely manner. The IRS offers a variety of ways for taxpayers to pay their taxes, including IRS Direct Pay.
