Milford, NH Resident Starts to Panic
If you miss the tax deadline and owe money on your taxes, you will likely incur a penalty up to 5% of the amount of taxes you owe for each month that it is late. This penalty will accrue on top of the tax payment that you already owe the IRS. If this extends beyond sixty days, the minimum penalty is $100 or 100% of the tax due, whichever is less. If you file for an extension this must be done prior to the tax deadline. The extension will give you until October 15, 2024 to file your 2023 taxes. Filing the tax extension in time and subsequently filing your taxes before the October deadline will wipe out the incurred penalties.
