Thank You – Extension Request

Posted Wednesday, December 4, 2024

Tax Return Extension Request

We have received your tax return extension request, and we will review shortly. If we did not prepare your prior year tax returns, we need a copy of the federal tax return (Form 1040) and any state tax returns uploaded to your client portal. Please don’t hold back! We need all the pages… even the ones that don’t look like much. You can use the Client Portal button below.

If everything is in order, here are the next steps-

1. Your tax return extensions will be electronically filed within 24-36 hours. We will send you an email and text alert.

2. About 2-3 days following the filing of your extension, you will receive acceptance emails from the IRS and states (if applicable). Please check your junk folder. Most states will honor the IRS extension as their own, and therefore you will not always receive an email from the state.

3. Extensions only extend the filing of your tax returns. Therefore if there is any tax liability associated with your eventual tax return filings, tax payments are due by the original filing deadline of the tax return. If we have determined a tax payment is necessary with your extension, we will advise that separately.

Procrastination

We’ll take the time to sound like your Mother- don’t procrastinate! We are eager to get your tax returns done, and we are all spooled up. So please try to get your tax documentation to us as soon as practical.

All extended tax returns will be prepared in August or September provided we have everything we need from you. If you need them prepared sooner, please contact us. May, June and July are reserved for tax planning.

Business Entity Tax Returns

As mentioned before, all extended business entity tax returns will be prepared in May or June. As such, if your business entity is a pass-thru entity such as a partnership (Form 1065) or an S Corporation (Form 1120S), then you will be unable to file your individual tax returns by the due date. If you have not done so already, and you would like WCG to also file a tax return extension for your individual tax returns, please use the button below-

Professional Consultation

Did you want to chat about this? Do you have questions about Thank You – Extension Request? Let’s chat!

The tax advisors and business consultants at WCG are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.” Yes, it is fun to brag about how complicated your world is at cocktail parties, but let’s not unnecessarily complicate it for the bragging rights.

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.
