Filing an Extension and Filing late
It’s much better to “file” and not “pay” your taxes than it is to not file your tax returns at all. Find out why. Some taxpayers believe that filing an extension gives them more time to pay their taxes without penalty. This is not always true and this is NOT why the IRS grants extension. An extension only gives you more time to file. You still are expected to pay in your estimated tax balance by the original deadline to avoid penalties and interest.
Receiving a letter or notice form the IRS or the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation can be difficult to understand and stressful.

In this article we explain why you might get a letter from the IRS and what to do when you receive one.
If you are behind on your tax filing, it is always a great idea to put some time aside to get caught up. You may be missing out on tax credits and potentially years of future tax benefits. In many cases, getting caught up on back taxes is not that difficult.
