IRS Urges Late Filers to Act Quickly to Avoid Extra Charges
The IRS reminded taxpayers who missed the April 15 deadline to file their 2024 federal tax return as soon as possible. Those with a balance due are encouraged to file and pay promptly to reduce accumulating penalties and interest. While filing an extension offers more time to submit paperwork, it does not extend the payment deadline. The agency highlights that electronic filing and secure payment options remain available, including IRS Direct Pay and installment agreements. Individuals expecting a refund face no penalty for filing late but may miss out on valuable credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit. The IRS encourages taxpayers to seek help from qualified professionals listed in its official directories.
