File an extension. It really is the smart thing to do.
June:
I saw your post on Turbo Tax, and I am now completely confused. I own a small web programming company (sole prop) LLC in Ohio, and I would usually use Turbo Tax… What do you recommend now? It’s such a late date, and I am sure most accountants are too busy for a new account.
Please let me know what you recommend!

Hello Jeremy,
First of all there is no need to rush. Read my post File an extension. It's the smart thing to do. If you file an extension you'll have until October 15 to file your tax return. That'll give you time to find a tax pro.
In the interim, learn as much as you can. Read my blog and the columns on my website. Be sure to check out my posts on finding the right tax pro.
Best, June
Actually, if I'm not mistaken the due date for the 1065 is 9/15 and not 10/15.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blogs

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteCorrect. Partnerships file extension Form 7004. Partnership extension deadline has been changed to September 15.
Glad you like my blog. Please tell your indie friends and colleagues.
