Here are some key reminders for extension filers [税金]

October 15 is fast approaching. That's the last day to file for most people who requested an extension for their 2020 tax return. These taxpayers can file any time on or before Friday, October 15 if they have all their required tax-related documents. They should also pay part or all their taxes since amounts owed after May 17 this year could be subject to penalties and interest.

Here are tips extension filers should remember.

•Pay tax balance as soon as possible. The deadline to pay 2020 income taxes was May 17, 2021. Taxpayers can check their account balance or view payment options .They can pay taxes online for free from a checking or savings account with Direct Pay. Those who owe taxes and can't pay their balance in full should pay as much as they can to reduce interest and penalties for late payment. This IRS has options for people who can’t pay their taxes, including applying for a payment plan on IRS.gov.

•File by the deadline to avoid penalties. Taxpayers should file by Friday, October 15, 2021 to avoid a failure-to-file penalty.

•What taxpayers should do about a missed deadline. Anyone who did not request an extension by this year's May 17 deadline should file and pay as soon as possible. This will stop additional interest and penalties from adding up.
