When Might You Need a Tax Return Extension?

It can be necessary to secure a tax return extension in certain situations where you are unable to meet the original deadline. National Tax Service can help you navigate this process. Here are some scenarios where you might want to seek out our professionals for a tax return extension: 

• Insufficient Time: If your tax return is particularly complex this year, or if you’ve encountered unexpected developments in your life that have severely limited your time, requesting a tax return extension can give you more time to get it done properly. 
• Missing Information: In some circumstances, necessary tax paperwork might have been delayed. This can include W-2 forms, 1099 forms, or other financial statements that you’ll need to complete your return properly. If this is your situation, filing for an extension will allow you to wait for the missing information without incurring late penalties. 
• Life Events: If you or your family have gone through a major life event such as a marriage, divorce, birth, death, or a significant change in employment, you might not immediately consider how it might affect your tax situation. However, depending on the circumstances, even one of these events can complicate matters. If you need more time to understand how significant life events are impacting your tax return, applying for an extension might give you the breathing room you need. 
• Business Complexity: Business owners, self-employed professionals, or workers with multiple sources of income often face more complex tax situations. If you still need to gather necessary business records, reconcile financial statements, or consult with your tax professional, filing for an extension can give you the time you need to make sure that your return is filed correctly.
• Overseas or Military Service: Individuals who are living or serving abroad may be eligible for an automatic extension of time to file their tax return. This allows them to comply with their tax obligations while dealing with the logistical challenges of being in a different country or serving in the military. If this applies to you, don’t hesitate to reach out to our tax professionals for additional information.

It's important to note that while an extension grants additional time to file your tax return, it does not extend the deadline for paying any taxes owed. If you anticipate that you will owe taxes, reach out to our office sooner rather than later. We can help give you an idea of what to expect.
