October 15 Tax Extension Deadline Stands

This is a friendly reminder from the professionals at BW James reminding you that the despite the government shutdown, the Internal Revenue Service still expects tax payments to come in on October 15, 2013, the agency recently announced.

Over 12 million individuals took advantage of an automatic six month extension earlier this year to file their Form 1040 for 2012.  The IRS offered several reminders for taxpayers during the current appropriations lapse:

Taxpayers are encouraged to file their returns electronically using IRS e-file or the Free File system to reduce the chance of errors. A CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA) can also assist any individual with filing tax returns.

Before filing, the IRS encourages taxpayers to see if they qualify for often-overlooked credits and deductions.  So if you’re one of the many Americans who have yet to file their Form 1040 for 2012, BW James can help you ensure you don’t miss any of these credits and deductions.

October 15, 2013 is the final day to submit your tax return.
