“Extension Fees” paid are applicable towards the costs of the subsequently prepared tax returns
The government grants an Extension to “File” if you apply before the Deadline, but there are No Extensions to “Pay.” If you owe taxes, the government calculates the failure to pay penalty and interest back to the original filing due date. If you believe you will owe taxes, CFS advises you make an “estimated tax payment” to the government with the Extension application(s). You may use the links below to make your estimated tax payment(s).
Government Resources
