Taxpayers should file their tax return on time even if they can’t pay their tax bill in full

IRS representation in Houston

Taxpayers should file their tax return by the deadline even if they cannot pay the full amount due.

If an individual taxpayer owes taxes, but can't pay in full by the May 17, 2021 deadline, they should:

File their tax return or request an extension of time to file by the May 17 deadline.

• People who owe tax and do not file their return on time or request an extension may face a failure-to-file penalty for not filing on time.
• Taxpayers should remember that an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. An extension gives taxpayers until October 15, 2021 to file their 2020 tax return, but taxes owed are still due May 17, 2021.

To get an extension to file, taxpayers must do one of the following:

• File Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using Free File on IRS.gov.
• Submit an electronic payment with Direct Pay, Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or by debit, credit card or digital wallet and select Form 4868 or extension as the payment type.

Pay as much as possible by the May 17 due date.

• Whether filing a return or requesting an extension, taxpayers must pay their tax bill in full by the May deadline to avoid interest and penalties.
• People who do not pay their taxes on time will face a failure-to-pay penalty.
• The IRS has options for taxpayers who can't afford to pay taxes they owe.

Set up a payment plan as soon as possible.

• Taxpayers who owe but cannot pay in full by May 17 don't have to wait for a tax bill to set up a payment plan.
• They can apply for a payment plan on IRS.gov.
• Taxpayers can also submit a payment plan request using Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request.
