It's totally okay to ask for more time to file your taxes. There's no penalty for asking for an extension. There's even an easy, official way to do it.
You can get an extension until October 15. Ask a tax preparer for help, or do it yourself here.
If you owe money on your taxes and can't pay in full, get on a payment plan by April 15 to avoid penalties.
If you can’t pay on time or can't start a payment plan, don’t worry. There will be a fine but you won’t go to jail.
If you still have questions or would like to schedule an your free tax prep appointment, call 211 or visit our friends the Miami Tax Pros
