Understanding Tax Extensions

 

Filing an extension is a standard professional practice that we use at our practice. While some accountants charge, we provide this service free of charge to our clients.

 

  • The Deadline: The extended deadline is typically October 15th.

  • File vs. Pay: An extension provides more time to file, not more time to pay.

  • Avoid Penalties: To avoid late payment penalties, you should pay your estimated tax liability by the April deadline.

  • No Stress: We can help you calculate and make an extension payment online so you can breathe easy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Q: Should I take the Standard Deduction or Itemize? The "Standard Deduction" is a fixed dollar amount that reduces the income on which you're taxed. To determine if you should itemize, compare your total qualified receipts to the 2026 Standard Deduction. 

 

You should only itemize if your total expenses for mortgage interest, charitable donations, medical bills (only the portion over 7.5% of your income), and state/local taxes (now capped at $40,400) are higher than the amounts below:

 

GSCPA

If you are 65 or older, your standard deduction is even higher: add $2,050 (Single) or $1,650 per person (Married) to the table above. Most taxpayers do not have enough receipts to beat these high automatic deductions. We will calculate both for you to ensure you receive the largest tax break possible.

 

Q: Do I need receipts for everything? For deductions like business expenses or charitable gifts, the IRS requires "contemporaneous records." This means you should have the receipt at the time of the transaction. Digital copies in our TaxDome portal are perfect for this!
