Tax Filing For 2009
Question: Where can I find the e-File form for an extension to 2009 tax filing?
I heard it can be done electronically. I need to put in an extension for both the Federal Government and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Please help! It was due on May 11th!
That does not answer my question.I wanted to file an extension. It has nothing to do with the concession already made. I called the IRS and they said I could do it. I would only have to pay the 1/2 percent interest for a short period of time and avoid the “failure to file” penalties.
So if anyone knows the URL to do this, that is what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Answer: Sorry, but since today’s date is May 17th you have missed the extended deadline to either file or ask for an extension. You had to file Form 4868 BY MAIL and it had to be postmarked by May 11, 2010 to be valid. Once the deadline passes there is NO WAY to file for an extension, either electronically or by mail.
While it is possible to e-file an extension application, that had to be done by April 15th. For those in the Northeast disaster area, extension applications filed after April 15th had to be filed BY MAIL and had to be postmarked by May 11th. There are no exceptions to this and since the final deadline has passed it is not possible to request an extension.
You can ask the IRS to abate the late filing penalties and late payment penalties (but never the interest) if you have a convincing reason for filing late. The IRS has been fairly liberal lately in granting waivers of penalties especially if you have not been penalized in the past few years, so it won’t hurt to ask.

Tax Refund Calculator 2009
Question: Will I have to pay taxes on my unemployment compensation?
I made approx. $13K in 2009, all from unemployment. I have one dependent. I’m thinking of letting her father claim her, as he had earned income. I did a calculator on TurboTax and it said that I didn’t owe or get a refund. Is this accurate? Do I even need to file a tax return?
Answer: If you claim her, you won’t owe any income tax. If you don’t claim her, you will owe around $125. And in either case, yes you need to file a tax return.
If your child lives with you and doesn’t live with her dad, then him having earned income is meaningless, since he wouldn’t be eligible for EIC – you only can get that if the child lives with you.
