It’s April 18, the official deadline to file your federal and state income tax returns for 2022. “This is the first tax season since 2019 where the IRS and the nation were on normal footing,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a call with reporters. For instance, Werfel noted that since January, thanks to an infusion of some new funding after years of budget cuts, IRS employees have been able to answer 87% of calls from filers with questions. Last year, they answered fewer than 15%.
What to do if you can’t file by April 18: If you’re not able to file on time, fill out Form 4868 electronically or on paper and send it in no later than today. You will be granted an automatic six-month extension to file. Note, however, that an extension to file is not an extension to pay. You will be charged interest and a penalty on any amount you still owe for 2022 but haven’t paid by April 18.
