Tax File Extension Deadline

Question: Penalties for paying tax on time but failing to file by the extension deadline?
Last year I paid a very fair estimated amount (likely 5-10% too much) at the April 15th due date. However, I still have not actualy filed for that year. I am about to file for that year (and the current one), but was curious, should I expect any penalities or fines for the late filing?
Answer: 25% of the underpayment or zero.

How To Get an Extension on Your Tax Return
File Tax Extension Deadline

Question: when is the deadline for filing tax if you have already filed an extension?
Answer: If you are filing an individual tax return (Form 1040, 1040-A or 1040-EZ) and filed the extension properly, you will have until October 15 to file your tax return.
(In previous years, the initial extension request only got you an extension to August 15, with the option to file for an additional extension to October 15–the new system is a lot more friendly to the taxpayer)
The extension is only an extension to file your return–it is not an extension to pay your taxes. If you have any tax due, you’ll be liable for the tax plus interest.

Question: Is it too late to file the tax form 8863 (education refund)?
I know the income tax deadline was april 15, but I have heard that if it is a refund it has not deadline. Is that true???
Thanks everyone!
Answer: If you haven’t filed yet, go ahead and do it now. And it’s not exactly true that there’s no deadline if you have a refund, you are still legally required to file by 4/15, but if you don’t there isn’t any penalty.
If you already filed, you can file an amendment.
