Today is tax deadline day: How do you file for an extension? What if you can’t pay?

T he tax deadline for almost all Americans is today – Monday, April 15. And if you’re one of those who waited until the last minute to handle your taxes, you do have some options, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Here is what you need to know about the tax deadline

For most of the nation, the tax deadline is April 15. Taxpayers in Maine and Massachusetts have until April 17 to file and pay taxes due this year because these states observe the Patriots’ Day holiday on April 15 this year and April 16 is the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia. Other taxpayers in disaster areas, certain active-duty military members and citizens living abroad automatically get more time to file.

How do I get an extension?

The IRS estimates 19 million taxpayers will file for an automatic extension.

Filers can get an automatic extension through Oct. 15 but while that grants you extra time to file, you still have to pay any amounts owed on time to avoid penalties and interest.

Individual tax filers, regardless of income, can electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension through IRS Free File by filing a Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return .

You can go here to see more on how to file for an extension.

What if you owe the IRS money?

You can avoid paying interest and some penalties by paying your balance due by April 15, even if you file for an extension. You can go here to see options for paying your taxes online.

What if you’re unable to pay your taxes in full?

If you’re unable to pay your taxes in full by the deadline, the IRS recommends paying what you can now and then applying for an online payment plan. The online portal gives you an immediate response to a payment plan without writing or calling the IRS.

The payment plans can include:

• Short-term payment plan – The total balance owed is less than $100,000 in combined tax, penalties and interest. Allows for an additional time of up to 180 days to pay the balance in full.
• Long-term payment plan – The total balance owed is less than $50,000 in combined tax, penalties and interest. Pay in monthly payments for up to 72 months. Payments may be set up using direct debit (automatic bank withdrawal) which eliminates the need to send in a payment each month, saving postage costs and reducing the chance of default. For balances between $25,000 and $50,000, direct debit is required.

Question 1 of 9

What type of home are you looking to buy.

Question 2 of 9

You have to see this! 7-year-old girl honors deceased mother by selling lemonade to pay for headstone

Brittni Johnson, EastIdahoNews.com

MORE THAN LEMONADE — A 7-year-old girl who started a lemonade stand went viral after countless people showed up to support the reason behind her selling the refreshing drinks.

Emouree Johnson, a second-grader in Scottsboro, Alabama, lost her mom, Karli, in March. The family didn’t have money to buy a headstone so Johnson decided to sell lemonade to help pay for one.

Her heartwarming story has been shared on many media outlets across the world. Not only have viewers said she “has the heart of an angel” and “her heart is made of pure gold” but people were touched by the response her lemonade stand generated.

Video of the girl selling lemonade shows community members and first responders buying cups of lemonade. Dozens of people reportedly came out to offer their support.

“I didn’t know that by making a little lemonade (it) would bring this many people,” Johnson said.

Within the first week, Johnson had already raised nearly $10,000. Johnson’s grandma told WHNT News 19 her daughter’s headstone ended up being donated and the ongoing donations would help support Johnson’s future.

Consumer price growth accelerated in March, adding to cloudy picture for U.S. economy

Inflation remained elevated once again in March, adding another round of price increases to Americans' already-strained wallets.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 12-month price growth accelerated from 3.2% in February to 3.5% in March, matching consensus forecasts among economists.

Excluding food and energy, which represent commodities with more volatile prices, the so-called core 12-month reading was unchanged in March at 3.8%.

Some of the items seeing the largest 12-month leaps in price gains included auto insurance, which soared 22.2%; domestic services like home cleaning, up 10.9%; baby food and formula, up 9.9%; and outpatient hospital services, up 8.3%.

If there was any relief, it was in grocery prices, which were up just 1.2% on the year. And prices for new and used vehicles fell.

But Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, put the situation succinctly in an email following Wednesday's release.

“There is no improvement here, we’re moving in the wrong direction,” he said.

On paper, the U.S. economy has looked solid. The unemployment rate has now remained below 4% for the longest stretch since the 1960s. Stocks have been at all-time highs. The economy continues to add jobs.

But since the start of the pandemic, Americans have seen average prices increase more than 20% overall — giving people a sense that the cost of many goods and services, not to mention housing, has surged to unreasonable levels.

When will prices come down?

So what will cause price growth to finally slow down to the Federal Reserve's 2% target?

Unfortunately, it usually takes a major economic crisis for broad categories of prices to reverse. Instead, the best that consumers can hope for is that they stop going up so fast.

While there are some signs that it's happening — grocery price increases, for instance, have finally fallen below 2% after surging during the pandemic — economists say it's likely to still take some time for inflation to truly subside.

Complex economic forces, they say, continue to keep price growth elevated.

A significant worker shortage sparked by the pandemic — especially for front-line service employees — helped push hourly pay higher. But this resulted in pushing up prices on the consumer side, since labor costs represent a significant portion of the overall cost of given goods or service.

Meanwhile, supply chain disruptions that emerged during the pandemic have yet to fully subside, said Sarah House, a managing director and senior economist at Wells Fargo.

She pointed to automobile prices, which have surged more than 20% since the start of the pandemic for new vehicles and more than 30% for used vehicles. While the pace of their price increases has abated, difficulties in sourcing auto parts, plus the loss of experienced technicians, have pushed vehicle prices higher.

This, in turn, has pushed auto insurance rates higher — and it turns out that car insurance commands a significant percentage of the overall increase in consumer prices.

“The services side is where we’re continuing to see stronger [price] growth,” House said. “That’s where we’re still getting an elevated degree of inflation from.”

Stagnant pay and higher borrowing costs

Americans’ pay has barely kept up with the price increases. While federal stimulus at the outset of the pandemic helped give people a cash cushion during the worst of it, there is an emerging consensus that this same cushion helped drive prices higher by giving people money to spend.

On net, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that the effect of inflation has caused Americans’ average hourly pay to rise by just a few cents compared with where it was at the start of the pandemic.

The Federal Reserve, which is in charge of taming price growth, in part by raising interest rates, has sought to fight fire with fire. By raising the cost of borrowing money, the central bank has tried to reduce demand for goods and services, ultimately pushing price growth down.

The Fed’s interest rate hikes have indeed caused borrowing costs for everything from credit cards to automobiles to homes to climb to levels not seen in years.

For many Americans, that’s meant getting locked out of the housing market, not to mention paying credit card rates above 20% and auto loan rates above 8%.

But inflation has persisted, surprising many economists. At the start of the year, the consensus forecast was for economic growth to slow, allowing the Fed to start cutting interest rates this spring, with a total of three cuts for 2024.

But a growing number of analysts now say that, at a minimum, rate cuts will be delayed. Still others say there won’t even be three cuts.

Despite all the challenges, the risk of a recession that would lead to significant job losses remains low. Yet there are signs that consumer jitters are accelerating. The New York Federal Reserve reported Monday that fears of job losses are climbing and that workers who are already out of a job say getting hired is now more difficult than it was prior to the pandemic.

While about one-quarter of Americans report their household financial situation to be better than a year ago, about one-third report being worse off.

It all adds up to a precarious situation. In a speech last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell called the economic outlook "still quite uncertain."

"The job of sustainably restoring 2% inflation is not yet done," he said.
