The S-corp extension deadline has passed. Individual and C-corp returns are due October 16. Extensions give you six months to file, not to pay: taxes owed were still due April 15, and the IRS charges penalties if you pay late.
The final extension deadline is almost here. So in case you aren't aware, the deadline to file S-corps, the extension deadline has already passed. So the final extension filing deadline for your personal return, or if you're a C-corporation, is October 16th. So quick side note, we get this question a lot, and sometimes there's still confusion around it, so I want to make sure it's clear. The final deadline to pay taxes was back in April. The extension adds 6 months to file the tax return. Basically, the IRS is willing to put off doing the paperwork, but they want the money up front. Also, just some friendly advice, don't wait until the last minute to file and pay. Obviously, if you're getting this now and you're past April 15th and you owe, we're well past the filing deadline.
