2016 refund

Otherwise, your refund expires and goes straight to the IRS. That being said, the original tax deadline for 2016 taxes was April 18, 2017, due to April 15th falling on the weekend and Emancipation Day right after.

Can you pay federal taxes with credit card

The IRS can’t directly accept credit card payments due to tax laws.

However, they can accept payments through a third-party processor. For example, online tax preparation companies are third-party processors since they are designated by a merchant to handle transactions for merchant acquiring banks. They can then assist you in making your credit card payment towards your tax bill to the IRS.

Here’s what you need to be prepared for when you plan on using the credit route.

There are no flat fees when using your credit card.

Can I File My 2009 Taxes Online?

You can prepare your 2009 tax return online with PriorTax.

Once, a long time ago, 2009 tax returns were due on April 15, 2010.

If you’ve been putting off filing your 2009 taxes since that initial deadline, you may wonder why you should bother filing at all?

There are a couple of good reasons you should do it.

For one, the IRS has 10 years to collect on any tax you owe. For two, tax penalties for filing late increase by the day and, by now, they have really built up. The longer you wait, the worse the situation.

The good news is that you can still prepare your 2009 taxes online with PriorTax.

Will I Owe the IRS Late Penalties?

If you owe the IRS from the 2009 tax year, plan on paying late penalties. These late fees include:

  • Failure-to-file: 5% of your tax due total for each month your return is filed late, up to 25%
  • Failure-to-pay: ½ of 1% of your unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month left unpaid

The penalty for filing late can be ten times worse than the penalty for paying late. At the very least, file your 2009 return as soon as possible. Then, contact the IRS to arrange to pay your tax bill. They can set up an installment plan that will work for you. (more…)

You can file or you can rack up IRS penalty fees; the choice is yours!

The very last day to E-file 2014 tax returns was October 15, 2015. If you’re reading this after the October 15th deadline, you can still prepare your return online. You’ll just need to paper-file it instead of E-filing it. That being said, without a tax extension, your 2014 tax return will be considered late if it is filed after April 15th, 2015.

If you’re expecting a refund from your 2014 taxes, you won’t be penalized for filing late. However, if you have tax due, you’ll face IRS late penalties for filing after April 15th.

Beware of IRS late penalties!

Plan on filing after the April 15th deadline? If you have tax due, you could end up with a tax bill costing you an arm and a leg.

IRS late fees include the following:

  • Failure-to-file penalty: the penalty for filing late is 5% of the additional taxes owed amount for every month (or fraction thereof) that your return is late, up to a maximum of 25%

  • Failure-to-pay penalty: late payment penalty is 0.5% (1/2 of 1 percent) of the additional tax owed amount for every month (or fraction thereof) the owed tax remains unpaid, up to a maximum of 25% (more…)
