Extension Benefits
Filing for an extension gives you more time to file your tax return. The extension moves the filing deadline to October 16, 2023.
Tax Payment Reminder
While an extension gives you more time to file, it's important to note that you must still pay any taxes owed by the original due date. If you owe taxes and fail to pay by the deadline, you may be subject to penalties and interest charges.
