As Tax Day nears, millions of Americans are facing impending deadlines for filing their tax returns. The IRS offers various options for those needing more time, including the possibility of filing an extension. Specific states, such as Florida and California, have announced additional relief measures and extended deadlines due to recent disasters. Taxpayers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with last-minute filing tips, potential penalties for late submissions, and the necessary steps to secure an extension if they cannot meet the April 15 deadline. For those in certain areas, tax deadlines may extend beyond this date, allowing for an even broader filing window. Experts recommend knowing the local stipulations and ensuring all paperwork is handled promptly to avoid any complications.
