TIPS & TRICKS FROM FINANCIAL EXPERTS
LIBERTY TAX COVERS LAST MINUTE FILING OPTIONS FOR TAXPAYERS
The countdown is on
to one of life’s ultimate deadlines, the dreaded Thursday, April 15 tax fil- ing deadline. Last minute taxpayers may find that many post offices, includ- ing Laconia, Gilford, Bel- mont, Tilton, and Meredith are not open for drop-off service until midnight on April 15 this year. Tax- payers can e-file their tax return or an extension request around the clock right up to the midnight deadline. As taxpayers face the federal tax filing deadline, those who owe taxes have some choices.
It’s Time To File Taxes Or An Extension Request
The IRS will grant an automatic six-month fil- ing extension to taxpayers who file or e-file a timely extension request. Taxpay- ers do not need to provide a reason for their request. Individual taxpayers need to file or e-file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, by April 15 to be granted a filing exten- sion until October 15. “However, an extension
of time to file a tax return still does not constitute an extension of time to pay any tax liability. Penalties and interest accrue from April 15 if the tax liability has not been paid,” said Jeff Scholtz, of Lakes Re- gion Liberty Tax Service.

Taking out a bank loan may be the least costly op- tion. Another option is to ask the IRS for permission to make monthly install- ment payments. If you are not currently on an IRS installment plan, complete Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request. This form can be e-filed with other tax forms or it can be attached to a return and mailed. To limit pen- alty and interest charges, the taxpayer should pay as much of the tax due as possible when sending in the return. NH taxpayers who have already mailed or elec- tronically filed their re- turns can mail Form 9465 to the IRS Service Center, Kansas City, MO 64999. The IRS usually approves or denies installment re-
quests within 30 days of receipt. The IRS will approve or
deny the request by send- ing out a written response. If the IRS approves the request, they will send you a notice detailing the terms of your agreement and requesting a fee of $105 ($52 if you make your payments by elec- tronic funds withdrawal). However, you may qualify
to pay a reduced fee of $43 if your income is be- low a certain level. These payments must be made on time, and the taxpayer must agree to meet all future tax liabilities. One available option to ensure timely payments is to have the funds directly debited from a bank account. Tax- payers may request this by completing line 11 of the Form 9465.
