Important Tax Deadlines

Use this calendar to plan your year. If a date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. An extension gives more time to file, not more time to pay. If you need an extension, a deposit is required and our firm’s extension fee is $250.

Extension Basics

  • Filing an extension moves your filing deadline, not your payment deadline.
  • To avoid penalties and interest, pay your expected balance by the original due date.
  • Our firm will file an extension on your behalf. If you would like us to calculate estimated payments you will need to make that request prior to April 1st.
