April 17th<\/a> has come and gone but the tax season hasn\u2019t ended for millions of people who requested a tax extension. October 15th<\/a> is the extended deadline and the clock is ticking.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let procrastination get the best of you. If you have all of your documents, it\u2019s in your best interest to file as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Stop delaying your refund<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no penalty for filing late if you\u2019re owed a refund. The quicker you file your return, the faster you\u2019ll receive your money.\u00a0 The average return can be completed with ezTaxReturn<\/a> in 30 minutes or less.<\/p>\n

The Affordable Care Act effects your taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Affordable Care Act<\/a> requires everyone to have health coverage, report an exemption or make a shared responsibility payment when you file your tax return. If you purchased coverage through the Marketplace, you may be eligible for the premium tax credit. You can either have advance payments of the credit paid to your insurer or claim it when you file your tax return. If you received advance payments and fail to file your taxes, you won\u2019t qualify for\u00a0financial assistance.<\/p>\n

Minimize your penalties<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you owe the IRS<\/a>, file and pay as much as you can to minimize penalties. The failure to file penalty is 10 times more than the failure to pay penalty. Even if you can\u2019t afford to pay, at least make sure you file before the time is up.<\/p>\n

Extended deadlines for members of the military<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Members of the military and those serving in combats zones have more time to file their returns. These individuals will have at least 180 after leaving the combat zone to file and pay any necessary taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
