Are You
Ready for “Tax
Day”? |
| Yes,
April 15th is just around the corner. If you are
scrambling to get everything together for your accountant,
RELAX! Have your accountant file an extension which
now allows you until October 15th, 2006, to gather all
your documentation in order to prepare an accurate return. However,
you are still responsible for paying an estimated amount
of your tax obligation at the time of filing the extension. The
difference can be reconciled when your actual tax returns
are filed, and there is no penalty if your estimate is
less than your final tax obligation—the additional
amount would be submitted at the time of filing your return. If
you are preparing your own tax returns, you will need to
complete IRS form #4868. To download this form or
