Frequently asked questions

The deadline for filing your federal income tax return is typically April 15th. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day. State filing deadlines may vary.

Hi there — if you can’t file by the deadline, you can request an extension by April 15. That usually gives you until October 15 to file your return. Just keep in mind that an extension doesn’t give you extra time to pay what you owe, so it’s smart to send in an estimate if you can. 🙂

Taking advantage of deductions and credits can help. Common ones include: Student loan interest Education credits Retirement contributions Home office expenses We’ll help identify all the deductions and credits you’re eligible for.

If you cannot file on time, you should request an extension by April 15th. This gives you until October 15th to file. However, an extension does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed, so try to pay at least an estimate to avoid penalties.

Hi there — you still have options. If you can’t pay your full tax bill today, file on time if you can, then pay as much as possible to keep penalties and interest lower.

Hi there — not always. If your income is below the filing threshold, you may not need to file a federal return. That depends on your age, filing status, and whether someone can claim you as a dependent. But filing can still work in your favor if you had taxes withheld or qualify for credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit. When in doubt, we can help you check. 🙂

Hi there — if you catch a mistake after filing, you can usually fix it with an amended return, often using Form 1040-X. The sooner you correct it, the easier it is to update missing income, deductions, or credits. If you’re not sure what changed, we can help you review it before you amend. 🙂

Hi there — a few simple checks can save you a big headache. The IRS won’t email, text, or DM you on social media asking for payment. Be careful with calls that threaten arrest or demand gift cards. If something feels off, verify it using the IRS’s official contact information before you respond. Better safe than sorry. 🙂
