What happens if I miss the tax deadline?
If you are required to file and owe income taxes to the IRS or state DOR, you are expected to mail in an extension of time to file request form and make an estimated tax payment prior to the filing due date. Then, you can send in your income tax forms up to six months late with interest and possibly penalty charges forthcoming. Once the DOR or IRS has processed your income tax return, you can request a payment schedule from them by mail-in form or by phone if necessary.
How many years can you file back taxes?
Don't stress yourself out if you forgot or did not have time to complete your 2022 tax forms or 2021 tax forms. The IRS will not charge you a failure to file penalty if you are due an income tax refund from a prior year. However, if you try to file and claim a refund three years after its filing due date, the IRS will not pay you the refund. In other words, you have three years to claim an income tax refund. If you still have your W2 or 1099 forms from 2021 and 2022 lying around, go ahead and claim your income tax refund from the IRS using easy form 1040EZ, short form 1040A, or long form 1040. Contact your employer's payroll department if you lost your W2 or form 1099 and need a copy to file a late tax return.
The Internal Revenue Service may charge you a failure to file penalty plus interest if you file late and owe the IRS back taxes. There is no statute of limitations for assessing and collecting income tax due if no return has been filed. As we mentioned previously, the IRS expects to receive an extension of time to file request form and an estimated income tax payment prior to each filing due date. If you are late and owe the IRS back taxes, the first step is to print and prepare your 2021, 2022, and 2023 income tax forms so that you know how much money you owe. The second step is to read the How To Get Help section of the most recent 2023 Form 1040 instructions booklet.
