[StBernard] Oct 16th IRS filing deadline

[Westley Annis]

The income tax deadline for filing tax returns for both Federal and State is

October 16th.  This date is equivalent to the traditional April 15th 
deadline.  There are two penalties "failure to file" and "failure to pay". 
You can eliminate the failure to file by filing an extension request by 
October 16th if you feel you are STILL not ready to file your tax returns. 
If there is any money due on the return it is due October 16th.  There is no

extension for that.  If there was we will all do that.  Usually the Federal 
return is requring no tax liability because of the losses sustained. 
However, it would be wise to review the State return since they do not 
recognize any itemized deductions or the Hurricane losses.
