Be Sure to File Your Taxes on Time

It's important that you stick to the tax return filing dates in order to avoid late fees and penalties.

The IRS are not forgiving when it comes to their deadlines, so you'll need to be aware of when certain payments must be made. Of course, the regular date for filing your annual tax return is in April of each year. Traditionally, the date is April 15th, but the IRS has been known to adjust this date occasionally.

In 2012, taxpayers must file their tax return by Tuesday, April 17th. If you're a self-employed individual, you must make estimated tax payments quarterly as well. The quarterly filing dates for 2012 are April 17, 2012 for the first quarter, June 15, 2012 for the second quarter, September 17, 2012 for the third quarter, and January 15, 2013 for the fourth quarter. If you do not make your quarterly estimated payments on time, you will be charged a late filing penalty at the end of the tax year.

When Will I Get My Refund?

Congratulations on completing your taxes.

Now you're wondering: When will the IRS send my refund?

  • For your federal (IRS) refund, wait at least 72 hours after your e-file has been accepted or 4 weeks after mailing your return.
    • This gives the IRS time to update their system with your information.
    • After the wait period is over, visit the IRS "Where's My Refund" page to look up the status of your refund.
       
  • For your state refund, go down to the How to Track your State Refund section.
