| 15. Linsey has a very complex tax return and it looks like she will not be able to file her tax return by its due date. When is her tax return due? What are Linsey’s options for paying her tax due and filing her tax return this year? What are the consequences if Linsey does not file or pay her tax timely? Be specific. (Points : 10) Her tax return is due on April 15th. Any individual or corporation unable to file a tax return by the original due date can, by that same deadline, request a six month extension to file, which is granted automatically by the IRS. An extension allows the taxpayer to delay filing a tax return but does not extend the due date for tax payments. Thus, when a taxpayer files an extension, she must estimate how much tax will be owed. If a taxpayer fails to pay the entire balance of tax owed by the original due date of the tax return, the IRS charges the taxpayer interest on the underpayment from the due date of the return until the taxpayer pays the tax. As you might guess, the IRS imposes penalties on taxpayers failing to comply with the tax law. In the case of failure to file a tax return, the penalty equals 5 percent of the tax due for each month (or partial month) that the return is late. However, the maximum penalty is generally 25 percent of the tax owed, and the failure to file penalty does not apply if the taxpayer owes no tax. |
