the filing date for 2011 tax returns and extensions is april 17 because april 15 falls on a sunday and monday, april 16 is emancipation day in the district of  — a local holiday unfamiliar to many americans but, by law, district of columbia holidays are treated like federal holidays when it comes to tax deadlines. as such, the due date for 2011 tax returns and extensions is tuesday, april 17.

anyone, regardless of income, can use free file to electronically request an automatic extension on form 4868. filing this form gives taxpayers until october 15 to file their 2011 income tax return. however,ralph lauren outlet online, remember that this is an extension of time to file the income tax return – not an extension of time to pay any remaining tax liability that may be due for 2011.
to obtain the extension of time to file the return, taxpayers must estimate their 2011 tax liability and should also pay any amount due. taxpayers can electronically pay the balance due by using:

(ii).??????????? by electronic funds withdrawal ()
(iii).??????????? with a credit or debit card ( ).
(iv).??????????? those who choose to pay by check or money order should make the payment out to the “united states treasury.”
by properly filing form 4868, a taxpayer will avoid the late-filing penalty (5% per month up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid tax liability) that applies to returns which are not timely filed. in addition, any payment made with an extension request will reduce or eliminate interest and late-payment penalties that apply to payments made after april 17. the current interest rate on a tax deficiency is three percent per year, compounded daily,christian louboutin heels, and the late-payment penalty is normally 0.5 percent per month.
