The final day for filing federal income tax returns is Tuesday, April 15.
Individuals can file for an extension that would give them six months to file returns, but tax payment is due Tuesday.
Penalties begin as soon as the filing date passes. The IRS website suggests filing taxes on time even if they can’t be paid entirely, because the failure-to-file fee is more than the failure-to-pay fee.
Individuals can pay their taxes online or mail them to their local IRS office.
