New Client Extension - AvMar Payroll and Accounting Services

To file a federal extension please complete our new client information form below. Please keep in mind that an extension to file is NOT an extension pay. The IRS and most states require estimated tax payments be made quarterly throughout the year with the last payment due by January 15th after the year has ended. Unless you have already made quarterly estimated tax deposits during the year it is likely you will still owe a late payment penalty despite an extension being filed. You can still minimize any late payment penalties by making an estimated tax deposit at the IRS website at the link below:

Payments | Internal Revenue Service

If you are a resident of a state that imposes an income tax, you will visit the website for your states Department of Revenue to submit a payment. Please note that some states only allow you to file an extension if you are submiting an estimated tax deposit with the extension.

If you have filed an extension without having made an estimated tax payment the penalty will be approximately 0.5% per month of the balance due plus interest. If for example, you have balance due to the IRS totaling $10,000 and you wait until the extension due date of October 15th to file and pay your income tax return the penalties and interest will be approximately $800.

Our office does offer tax planning services however you must weigh the potential cost of such an engagement versus the penalty assessment. I have found that in most cases if you are working for an employer that is not withholding income tax from your salary you should set aside approximately 20%- 25% of your income for federal income tax. If you are a resident of a state that imposes a state level income tax, I recommend you put aside approximately 5-7% of your income depending on your state residency. If you prefer to engage our office for a formal tax planning engagement, please contact our office to discuss.

If taxpayer engages our office to complete an income tax return it is the clients responsibility to provide all necessary information to complete the income tax return no later than 30 days prior to the extended returns due date.

AvMar charges a processing fee of $75 to electronically file a federal extension and $35 for a state extension.

Please complete this form if you will be engaging AvMar Accounting Services, LLP for this upcoming year.
