What If You Haven’t Filed Yet?

If you are reading this and haven’t submitted your return yet, don’t panic. You have until April 15, 2026. If you cannot file by then, submit Form 4868 to get an automatic extension until October 15, 2026.

Crucial Warning: An extension to file is not an extension to pay. If you expect to owe taxes, you must pay an estimate of what you owe by April 15 to avoid interest and failure-to-pay penalties.
