[00:00 - 05:21] Understanding Tax Extensions and Their Importance

  • Filing an extension doesn't increase audit risk, can lower chances of audit.
  • The reasons for filing an extension include waiting on documents or incomplete bookkeeping.
  • Extensions extend time to file, not time to pay; taxes are still due on original deadlines.
  • Failure to file penalties is more severe than failure to pay penalties.
  • Make estimated payments with extensions to avoid penalties and interest.

  • For those who can afford tax bills, options include automatic withdrawal, online payments, or credit/debit card payments.
  • For those who can't afford tax bills, filing returns is crucial; failure to file penalties are harsher.
  • The options for payment include borrowing funds, short-term payment plans, or offers in compromise.
  • Installment agreements with the IRS require timely payments to avoid complications.
  • Proactive tax planning and estimated tax payments can prevent future financial strain.
