I'm Due A Refund From 2017

The IRS will not charge you a failure to file penalty if you are filing late and expect to receive a 2017 income tax refund. If that best describes your situation, don't stress yourself out. Just prepare your income tax forms and mail them in as soon as possible. You have approximately three years to claim a federal income tax refund. If you file late and claim a federal income tax refund three years after its filing due date, the IRS will simply not pay you the refund.

I Owe Back Taxes From 2017

If you file your 2017 1040 tax form late and owe taxes, you may be charged a failure to file penalty unless you have reasonable cause for filing late. Furthermore, interest is charged on any taxes and penalties not paid by the due date, April 17, 2018, even if you received an extension of time to file. There's no statute of limitations for assessing and collecting federal income tax if no income tax return has been filed.

The first thing you should do is complete your 2017 1040 tax forms to figure out exactly how much you owe in back taxes. Maybe it's a little, maybe it's a lot. Knowing exactly how much you owe in back taxes for income tax year 2017 may help you sleep better tonight.

To help keep federal income tax interest and penalties to a minimum, mail in your 2017 1040 tax form as soon as possible. If you owe back taxes and can't pay, the IRS will generally allow you to establish a payment plan after they have processed your return.

If the IRS offers you a reduced settlement amount for payment in full, consider obtaining a personal or home equity loan from your bank or local credit union. Doing so may greatly reduce the amount you pay in past due federal income tax, penalties, and interest.
