personal taxes

There were many changes in recent years.  Let a tax professional prepare your return, and have confidence it was done accurately, so you didn't miss out on any credits or deductions.

Personal tax returns or extensions for tax year 2021 must be filed by April 18, 2022.  

Taxes must be paid by April 18, 2022 even if you have an extension.  The extension only affects the due date for the return filing.  The IRS will penalize you if taxes are paid late, regardless of having an extension.  If you expect to owe taxes, make a payment at www.irs.gov  under the "Pay" tab before 4/18/22.
