Extensions & Late Filing
Behind on Your Taxes? There Is a Right Way Forward.
The IRS and New York State both impose penalties that compound the longer you wait. Voluntary filing — even late — almost always produces a better outcome than doing nothing. We handle these situations calmly and methodically.
Extension Filing
More time to file — handled properly
An automatic six-month extension is available to any taxpayer — but it must be filed by the original due date. We prepare and e-file both the federal and NY State extensions, estimate your balance, and get everything submitted on time.
- Immediately stops the failure-to-file penalty
- Buys time to gather documents without rushing
- Balance estimate submitted to minimize interest
- IRS e-file confirmation provided
Remember: An extension gives extra time to file — not extra time to pay. Any balance owed still accrues interest after the original deadline. We calculate what you likely owe so you can pay appropriately.
Late & Back-Year Returns
One year or several — we get you current
One missed year or several — we handle it without judgment. We start with the oldest year, reconstruct what is missing, and work forward systematically so you come out with a complete, documented filing history.
- Multiple years handled simultaneously
- Income reconstruction using IRS transcripts if needed
- Penalty and interest review for each year
- NY State back-year filings prepared and e-filed
- Full copies of all returns and confirmations provided
You may be owed a refund. The IRS allows refund claims up to three years back. Many late filers discover money waiting for them — but that window closes permanently if you wait too long.
