What happens if I miss the filing deadline?
File as soon as possible. Late filing is significantly better than not filing at all. The IRS uses a graduated penalty structure—the sooner you file after the deadline, the lower your penalties.
The Most Important Thing to Know
Even if you've missed the deadline, you are still required to file. The IRS will assess penalties, but:
Penalties are reduced if you file within 30 days of the deadline
Penalties are further reduced if you file before August 1
You may qualify for penalty relief if you have reasonable cause
Not filing at all results in the highest penalties and potential intentional disregard charges
