Filed An Extension? It’s Time To File Your Tax Return

If you were one of the estimated 19 million taxpayers who requested an extension for their 2021 federal tax returns, you have until October 17th to file. While you may not be ready to file today, you do not need to wait until the deadline.


Processing And Delivery Of Your Tax Refund


If you have everything you need to file a complete and accurate return, you should file as soon as possible to avoid any delays in the processing and delivery of your tax refund. Avoiding the last minute rush will help the process run more smoothly and reduce the chances of careless errors.


Mary King of the Law Office of Mary E. King, P.L. weighs in. She says “In addition to filing your tax return as soon as you are able to, you should select the direct deposit option if you are due a refund. This will ensure that you receive your refund in the shortest time frame possible.”


The IRS processes most e-filed returns and issues direct deposit refunds in fewer than 21 days.

If you have questions about filing your tax return before the October 17th deadline, or any other tax related matter, contact The Law Offices of Mary E. King, PL at 941-906-7585 or visit floridataxlawyers.com
