15 June 2012 this one is important for expats! This day, my friends, is the
deadline for filing the 2011 tax return. You'd better file it - and have proof of mailing as 'insurance', or you'd better file an extension of time through 15 October to file. You'll still have interest due and underestimated penalties if you underestimated your pre-payments and filed under extension, before your extension deadline, but you'll avoid some very costly penalties by filing your extension request - this extension form is virtually automatically approved. Oh, you can be the first to be penalized in this instance, if your extension application is denied - but I doubt it......! If you are a first time overseas filer, this is also the best date to file a specific form (2350) for filers who simply want to wait until they qualify under the physical presence test (we'll cover this one, later in the book!) in order to take advantage of foreign exclusions.
And...it is also the day for filing voucher #2 of the 1040ES.
30 June 2012 Treasury Department Form TDF90.22-1 must be filed by this date.
Now I realize that 30 June 2012 falls on a Saturday but I wouldn’t take a chance – get that TDF form filed by that date – or before!!
15 September 2012 Voucher # 3, third quarter payment of your 1040ES is due, today, if you are going to owe anything for 2012 - time to pay...!
15 October 2012 Contrary to what the IRS or your accountant might lead you to
believe, you definitely can file for further extension through 15 December – but you’d better do this before 15 October. Personally, I try to avoid anything dealing with tax after 15 October (because I value my sanity and, after 4+ decades of doing tax work, I really need to cut off by 15 October!!!) but the IRS will still allow you those extra two months if you file that additional extension.
31 December 2012 The year's over - new income tomorrow? Worry about it next year!! What’s this - you say that in spite of reading this you still have no idea of the tax system? Well, apparently, neither does the IRS Commissioner, who has someone else prepare his tax return. Once again (yes, I know I’m repeating myself!) I propose that henceforth and forever more, it be made mandatory that all future IRS Commissioners must self-prepare their own returns, returns that are to immediately be audited, with instantaneous penalties assessed upon that IRS Commissioner preparing his return.....if nothing else, we’d finally get the head honcho of the IRS feeling a bit more sympathetic to the helplessness that the rest of the American public has to go through with this very user-unfriendly system!
