Question

filing an extension

I didn’t file an extension for my parents 2025 taxes because we were in the hospital when taxes were due. I am working on their 2025 tax forms now. Do I still need to file an extension before I submit the tax forms?

    It's too late to file an extension. Just file the tax return now. You will be filing late, but that's all you can do at this point. If they do not have a payment due there is no penalty for filing late.
