IT'S APRIL 18.
WE HAVE AN EXPERT TO PUT PEOPLE
AT EASE.
SO TAXES ARE DUE.
HERE ARE POINTERS FOR LAST
MINUTE FILING.
WE WANT TO PROVIDE LAST
MINUTE FILING TIPS TODAY.
PROBABLY THE MOST PRESSING IS
WHAT IF I CAN'T GET IT DONE
TODAY?
TODAY IS THE DEADLINE.
BUT WHAT IF I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T
GET IT DONE?
SO THERE IS A COUPLE OF THINGS
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
DO.
IF YOU CANNOT GET YOUR TAX
RETURNS DONE BY TODAY, BY
MIDNIGHT, HAS TO BE POSTMARKED
OR ELECTRONICALLY FILED, FIRST
FILE FORM 4868.
AND THAT IS THE IRS EXTENSION TO
FILE. GRANTS YOU AN ADDITIONAL
SIX MONTHS TO FILE YOUR RETURNS.
UNTIL OCTOBER 17.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S NO
PENALTY?
NO.
YOU WILL NOT --
[LAUGHS]
YOU WILL NOT BE HIT WITH A
FAILURE TO FILE PENALTY.
BUT IF YOU OWE THE
EXTENSION -- DOES NOT EXTEND THE
TIME TO PAY.
IT JUST EXTENDS THE TIME TO FILE
THE RETURN.
SO BE CONSCIOUS THAT WHILE YOU
HAVE THAT EXTENSION TO FILE,
YOU'LL BE RACKING UP PENALTIES
AND INTEREST ON THE UMTHAT
YOU -- AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE.
IF YOU'RE AT HOME AND IF YOU
DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING READY TO
GO, FILE WHAT -- GET IT IN THE
MAIL.
BUYS YOU A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
STILL COULD BE A PENALTY.
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
THE NEXT THING IS -- IS WHAT IF
I HAVE MULTIPLE YEARS OF RETURNS
TO FILE.
OR IF I NEED TO FILE A
(INAUDIBLE) RETURN.
A LOT OF TIMES ON APRIL 15 OR
18, WE SEE PEOPLE COME IN WITH
MULTIPLE YEARS ORETURNS -- OF
RETURNS AND THIS IS THE YEAR
THEY'LL GET THEIR HOUSE IN
ORDER.
SO WHAT WE ASK OUR TAXPAYERS IN
THAT SITUATION IS HOLD OFF ON
THOSE MULTIPLE YEARS.
LET'S GET THE CURRENT YEAR
RETURN IN NOW.
AND THEN WE ASK THEM TO COME
BACK FOR THE NEXT EVENT, MAY
DAY.
MAY 1.
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT APRIL 30
THIS YEAR.
AND COME IN TO HANDLE THE
MULTIPLE YEARS AND MENDED
RETURNS AND EVERYTHING.
SO ON THE 18TH IF YOU HAVE
MULTIPLE FILING, REALLY BEHIND,
TAKE CARE OF THE FIRST YEAR
RIGHT NOW THAT IS HERE.
AND REORGANIZE.
RESTRUCTURE.
CALLING IT MAY DAY.
AND THAT'S GOING TO HELP
EVERYTHING THROUGH.
IT GIVES US MORE TIME.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE STRESS AND
PUSH OF GETTING EVERYTHING DONE
AND IN BY THE END OF TONIGHT BY
MIDNIGHT.
PERFECT.
AND AGAIN, GOT IT BE IN BY 12:00
TONIGHT IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO
IT.
YES.
EITHER THAT FULL RETURN HAS TO
EBOO -- TO BE IN OR THE
EXTENSION HAS TO BE IN.
IF YOU OWE -- THE EXTENSION TO
FILE DOES NOT EQUAL AN EXTENSION
TO PAY.
AND THE IR SKS, 10000 NUMBER
TO -- 1800 NUMBER TO TALK
THROUGH.
THEY'LL HELP AND ASSIST YOU.
AND ALSO THERE'S YOU GUYS THERE.
FIND US ON THE WEB.

OR CALL UNITED WAY BY DIALING
211.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
