File Tax Extension Electronically
Question: What if you are late filing your state taxes by a day, and owe no money?
I have been in the hospital for over 3 months following a bad crash, and have been out for a couple days now. I filed my federal taxes with efile – and had a little trouble with filing 2 state returns (moved in 2007, and never did 2 state tax forms before), and it took me longer than expected. In a last minute effort to buy more time, I was able to file an extension for free on the NC Revenue site, but the GA site did not offer that – only the forms you mail. It is a few after midnight, so that is not an option now. I owe NO taxes, and have a refund coming back to me, and like I said, I have already filed my federal return electronically. I plan on working on the state taxes tomorrow, and having them mailed out or efiled by Thursday. I have never been late before, and am unsure of what to expect. Is there penalties to pay in this situation, or anything else that could happen?
Answer: If you do not owe any money and are getting a refund, then you will not be penalized for filing late. No worries there!
Government shutdown 101: Will I still have to file my taxes?
A government shutdown would not mean that Tax Day 2011 changes. The April 18 deadline would remain in place, though some things at the IRS might move slower.

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.

File Tax Extension
Question: Have anybody used Turbo Tax to e-file a tax extension?
Hi, everyone, I recently used the Turbo Tax Extension Express to e-file a tax extension. Five days have passed since then, and the status of my e-filing shows only that the filing has been accepted by IRS. It is said “accepted”, not “approved”. That makes me confused because I have no idea whether “accepted” = “approved”, or “accepted” = “received” ?
Answer: I used FileLater (http://filelater.com) to file my extension. The email I got said “accepted” but the wording was very clear that “accepted” meant “approved” because there was mention that my new filing deadline was officially October 15th… so you’re probably all set.
IRS offers nonprofit extension
Small nonprofit organizations at risk of losing tax-exempt status because they failed to file required returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009 can preserve their status by filing returns by Oct. 15 under a one-time relief program.
