Do i have to file my taxes by april 15 if i am due a refund?

You need to file by April 15th if you are due refund. However, you can ask for an extension.


When is the last day for filling taxes for 2013?

If you mean for filing your return for income earned in 2012 the normal date would be April 15, 2013 unless you file an extension which gives you until October 15, 2013. Remember that the extension is only an extension to file and not an extension to pay any taxes that may be due. If you do not pay the taxes due then interest and penalties for non-payment of taxes will be assessed. If you don't file your taxes or an extension by April 15, 2013 then you will be assessed penalties and interest for non-payment of taxes and for non-filing of the return on a timely manner.


How to Get an Extension for Taxes?

Every year, thousands of people find themselves unprepared to file their taxes. If you are one of them and simply fail to file your taxes, then you will have to face the wrath of the IRS. Instead of facing the wrath of the IRS, you should file a special form and receive a legal extension period for filing your taxes. You can file the Form 4868 and receive an automatic 6-month extension on the filing of your taxes. The only caveat with this option is that you must file for an extension by the due date set forth by the IRS.

File an Extension for State Taxes Too?

If you require an extension on the filing of your taxes, do not forget to file an extension for state taxes too. Of course, if you live in a state like Florida that does not have a personal income tax, then you will not need to worry about filing taxes at all. In a majority of other states filing an extension is essential. You may incur certain fees or expenses if you fail to file an extension for your state taxes. Be sure to research the requirements for your state on receiving an extension for the filing of state taxes.
