Get your taxes done using TurboTax

April 15th is the deadline to pay your taxes without interest or penalty.   If you are unable to pay your taxes in full, you should still file by April 15th, but you can apply for a payment plan from the IRS.  If you set up a payment plan, interest and penalties still do accrue for any day it is not paid after April 15th.  

 

You can file an extension to file your return.  This does not give you an extension of time to pay, just an extension of time to file.  Your payment would still be due on April 15th.
