How to file late taxes

[xmasbaby0 · Accepted solution]

You can still file your 2016 tax return after the filing deadline. You will be able to e-file up to October 15, 2017.  If you are getting a refund, it will be OK to file past the deadline; you will not be penalized.  However, if you owe tax due, get your return filed ASAP, as penalties have begun to accrue.

It’s past October... can I still file my taxes? I’m supposed to get $35 dollars returned. I don’t care about the $35, but I don’t want to get in trouble with the IRS.. I just found out why my e File was rejected. It was because of my PIN.. I didn’t see the error message before. Any advise on what to do?

At this point entering your 2015 AGI does not matter, since you can no longer e-file your 2016 return.  You now have to print, sign and mail it.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.
