Did you know that the real deadline for filing returns IF YOU ARE GETTING A REFUND, is 2 years from the time you first paid tax for a particular year. So, Jan 2009 would be the current timeframe under this rule!

If you are mailing your return it is a good idea to send it certified mail as things do get lost in the mail sometimes. If your tax return gets lost in the mail and you have no proof it was sent, then it is the same thing as not filing your return. If you owe taxes and you are sending in your return and payment and it gets lost, you can get hit with some big failure to file penalties. Certified mail is cheap insurance.

One other note on extensions: your best option is to file an extension online. That way you’re guaranteed to get a response from the IRS and can re-file if your request was rejected. If, on the other hand, you choose to send the IRS your request through the mail, you will never hear anything. That means it may never get to the IRS or it could be rejected. That will mean you’re accumulating late filing penalties without even knowing it.

Unlike what happened to “Big-D” with his taxes, you can e-file extensions right thru midnight without any issues. The IRS has such a long backlog of extensions that they don;t penalize you if technically the extension isn’t accepted until April 16.

Just a note on E-Filing. I had a bunch of money I owed one year so I waited to E-File until April 15th. Sounds good – I E-Filed at 8 PM. Well the IRS held onto my tax documents on some “staging server” which did not get it into the queue of the “processing server” until after midnight. Thus my taxes, even though they were e-filed on time, were considered late, and a 10% penalty.
