If your 2020 personal tax filings will not be finalized by May 17^th, now is the time to request an extension of time to file until October 15^th. We must get your signed extension authorization by Saturday, May 15^th. 

Please contact Roxana@taxplus.com (Los Angeles) or Rita@taxplus.com (San Diego) for any extension requests. Please fill in this form for your TaxPlus – Personal Extension Request with your email. 

Remember it is an extension to file, not an extension to pay your taxes. If there is a balance due on the return, interest will be assessed in addition to the tax.  We can help you determine an estimated tax payment to make with the extension in order to limit interest charges.
