IS THIS THE FIRST YEAR YOUR HUSBAND WILL REPORT SELF-EMPLYMENT INCOME?
If you are sure you will not owe, enter 0 if the program allows that. If not, you might need to enter at least a dollar to get the program to file the extension.
If you file late, but owe no tax, you will not be charged interest or a late filing penalty.
You have up to three years to file for a refund.
If you are at all unsure if tax will be due, file an extension. If possible, start a joint return with the tax forms you have and make estimates for whatever you don't know, such as the Self-Employment income.
SINCE YOUR HUSBAND IS SELF-EMPLOYED, IT IS VERY PROBABLE THAT YOU WILL OWE SELF-EMPLYMENT TAX. Please factor that in when making the decision to file for an extension and estimating tax due.
