Your Taxes Didn't Take the Summer Off!
Did you file an extension for your 2025 tax return? If so, you are not alone. But
now is the time to stop putting it off.
For business filers who properly requested an extension, September 15, 2026, is
the deadline to file 2025 1065 and 1120-S returns. Missing that deadline will be costly
since IRS will assess a $200 per month penalty until the Return is filed. For taxpayers
who properly requested an extension, October 15, 2026, is the deadline to file the 2025
federal income tax return
If you have been waiting because your tax situation is complicated, you are
missing documents, you own a business, have rental property, received multiple 1099s,
experienced major financial changes, or simply do not know where to begin, now is the
time to get professional help.
Waiting until the extension deadline can create unnecessary stress and increase
the possibility of mistakes. A professional tax review can help identify overlooked
deductions, credits, business expenses, reporting requirements, and potential tax
problems before your return is filed.
And if you already know—or suspect—that you will owe the IRS, don't panic.
Filing your return is only the first step. There may be options for addressing a balance
you cannot afford to pay in full, depending upon your circumstances.
Don't wait until September 14th or October 14th to start looking for help. Tax
professionals become increasingly busy as the extension deadline approaches, and
complicated returns require time to properly review the records and prepare an accurate
return.
At Jackson Gaines Professional Tax Management, we work with individuals,
families, and business owners who need more than someone who simply enters
numbers into a tax program. We take the time to understand your tax situation, review
your information, and help you make informed decisions about your tax obligations.
If you filed an extension, your tax return is not finished—it is simply waiting.
Let's get it completed before the deadline.
Schedule your tax appointment today. Don't let your extension become another
missed deadline.
