• Returns prepared by Tax-Aide during the filing season are always filed by the spring deadline, except for returns prepared by authorized sites that are open year-round.
    • It is important for taxpayers to understand that whether or not they can pay in full, it is always better for them to file their taxes on time. Timely filing eliminates late-filing penalties, and any amount that can be paid on time reduces IRS interest charges. 
  • TaxSlayer automatically prints a payment voucher for the full payment due. The taxpayer can always change the dollar amount on the voucher. (Best is to line through the original amount, and write in the amount that is being mailed in.)
    • If they can’t pay in full by the spring filing deadline, inform the taxpayer of the payment options below.
  • Note for CA returns: Because CA taxes due are usually much smaller than federal taxes due, the taxpayer may want to pay CA in full, if possible, and owe more money to the IRS. That way, the taxpayer is dealing with only one creditor, not two. (Interest rates are similar, if not identical.)
