Happy Columbus Day! It’s a holiday for many across the country. I can think of a bunch of fun ways to spend a day off.
However, if you’re one of those taxpayers who filed an extension waaaay back in April to get a little extra time to file your federal income tax return, you might want to spend the day getting your receipts together. The filing deadline for individuals on a regular extension is Thursday, October 15.
Remember that an extension to file is not the same as an extension to pay. If you owe taxes, you will likely owe a few extra dollars in interest (lucky for you, interest rates are fairly low).
