An extension takes stress out of the tax return process. The tax code allows for an automatic six month extension. You are legally entitled to it. The extension is an extra layer of protection so that you do not have to worry if something happens last minute or if the IRS makes a mistake. This also allows our firm to process more returns before the deadline if we do not have to stop early to process extensions. If an extension is not for you, that’s ok. There are plenty of options outside of our firm that can help you process your return with no extension. Please contact us if you would like a list of resources.
