No penalty.  The government only cares about late tax returns if you owe them money.  If they owe you money, they're very gratefull for the interest free loan.  Expect to get your refund later than everyone else who filed their returns on time (maybe an extra week).

The IRS will look at your income and expenses, and they'll tell you what they think you can pay.  You can negotiate on this a little, but if they say $200 a month, you won't likely be able to negotiate it to $25 a month.\n\nAny refunds you'd be eligible for before the back taxes are paid would most likely be taken and applied to your debt.  You could adjust your withholding so you don't have a refund, but don't take it so low that you owe again, and dig yourself in deeper.

Technically you could file an amended return (1040X) once you receive it, but I don't think waiting until next year is wise.  This is income that employer has reported to the IRS, and it will likely raise a red flag if it doesn't appear on your return.\n\nBy law, W-2's are to be given or mailed to employees no later than January 31.  I know my employer waited until the 27th to make them available.  Since your husband no longer works at the Food Lion, they'll have mailed it.  It's fairly likely it hasn't gotten to you yet.  I would wait a little while, then contact the employer to see if it was mailed.

you would go to YOUR STATE (Florida) department of revenue. Most of them have a number to call or can tell you right on their site where your refund is.

You have until April 17 this year because April 15 is a Saturday.  Go to\nwww.irs.gov\nto print forms.

Call your employer. They are supposed to mail them by Jan 31st. If they will not give them to you call the IRS. It is the law that they give you your copy. If you didn't think you will have your taxes done by April 17th (this year because of the day the 15th falls on) then you do need an extension

As mentioned earlier no.  However, if you chose to direct deposit the refund, it will cut down the time by a couple of weeks.

yes, and you will want to do that as soon as possible. If you are getting a refund, there will not owe any penalties or fees. The big reason why you want to file them ASAP is because the IRS already has a list of all of your income. They get a copy of your W-2s when your employer sends you a copy so they know what you made. They do not know what your deductions are though, so in about 2 to 4 years they will send you a big fat bill for what they feel that you owe them (when actually they may owe you) Also if you do not file at all the IRS may assume that you are avoiding paying taxes and will likely audit you.\ngood luck\nBLU

Yes, if you are talking about tax years 2002 and forward.  However, you only have until April 15 to file an amended return for 2002.\n\nIf you are talking about tax year 2005, then I would wait until next week after the regular filing period to file the amended return, 1040X.  Give the IRS time to get the incorrect return in the system before you correct it.  Otherwise, you are liable to confuse them and make matters worse.\n\nYou will have to wait 8 to 12 weeks for the IRS to finish processing your amended return.

The later you file your return the longer it takes to get the return.\nGo to Michigan IRS and put in your information and open an on line account with them and it will tell you the status of your income taxes. Example, It'll say "processing","pending" or it'll say it's been mailed out on a specific date.

My wife passed away last year so when I was competing my Form 1040 I found no distinctive information on how to claim her for last year so I called IRS. A woman explained exactly what I was to do and accomplished just that on the form in front of me while conversing.\nThree to four weeks later I received my refund check and it had my name and my wife's name on the check. The following day I called IRS to inquire what I should do to get the check re-issued in my name only. After 2 1/2 to 3 hours trying to get thru to a real person at IRS I finally found some other office out-side of IRS who finally transfered me to an IRS attorney. She informed me to complete a special form and return it along with the check. Both times I asked the individuals if I should include a Death Certificate and was told that it wasn't necessary.  I downloaded the form from the net and returned it with the check as directed.\nSome three weeks later I got a letter and another form to complete with instructions to include a Death Certificate and also instructions to notify Social Security which I had already accomplish after my wife's death.\n I originally submitted my taxes in early February and finally got my refund in late May. Need I say more?

its amazing how many people dont know this, There are NO penalties for filing late when you are due a refund, NONE. ;-) you have until April 15, 2009 to file and that isnt a joke, its for real, if you are due a refund.

You're not in trouble, per se, because you have 3 years to file a return in order to get a refund (if due).  But what happens when you don't file a return is that IRS files a Substitute 1040 for you, and then they add penalties and interest to it, and the interest is accumulative, so you're much better off filing it now to eliminate owing them any more than you may already owe.  If you owe and can't pay, they will work out a payment plan with you, and you should take their offer, because the interest they charge is much less than paying it with a credit card.  And you don't need to hire someone to file the return for you; just go to irs.gov, find the form, fill it out and mail it in.

go to http://www.irs.gov and click on the "wheres my refund" link, there you can provide the necessary information to find out what the status of your refund is, once it has been recieved. I would expect at least 3 weeks for processing and if you did not go with direct deposit, a couple more weeks to get a check cut, plus the week it will take to get there...if it doesn't get lost in the mail ;)\n\nGood Luck
