October 15th Tax Deadline Two Weeks Away

If you have yet to file your 2012 tax return, the extended deadline to file your personal tax return (form 1040) is October 15^th.  Keep in mind that for the October 15^th deadline to be valid, a taxpayer must have timely filed an extension (form 4868) prior to the first deadline of April 15^th.  If you are unsure if you have timely filed an extension, it would be best file your tax return sooner than later.

Note on state tax returns:  Most (but not all) extended state tax deadlines will have passed by October 15^th.
