For many tax filters, state and federal income taxes must be defeated on Tuesday.
If you have finished working on your taxes 2024, congratulations.
If you have not done it, the last minute tax submission tips below, of a San Diego Finance Professional and the Internal Revenue Service, make the next few days a little less dragged.
Ideas of a Finance Professional
Levi Anderson, a financial planning manager of the EP Wealth Advisors of the San Diego office, a fiduciary company and only rates, shared some ideas and reminders for anyone who still works on their taxes, either alone or with a tax professional.
- If you are presenting an extension, you still have to pay your fiscal balance before Tuesday’s tax deadline, Anderson said. “If you are presenting an extension, keep in mind that taxes are due to the original tax deadline, although it is presenting an extension,” he said. “Although the fine for ‘payment failure’ is less than the fine of ‘file failure’, the fine and interest can add if it wait until later to pay their taxes it possesses.”
- It is not too late to contribute to its retirement accounts of 2024, just even if we reach four months in 2025. These contributions could reduce their taxable income. “Making a last minute contribution to these accounts can still count for fiscal year 2024 until April 15. Just be sure to write it down as a contribution of 2024 when you do,” Anderson said.
IRS resources for last minute files
For last minute fillings looking for free presentation resources, qualified taxpayers can still use the direct file of the IRS and the free file of the IRS. “In addition, anyone can use the IRS free file to send an extension of time to present independently of their income,” says the agency on its website.

The IRS has a frequent search page with links to almost 60 questions and answers, including “should you present a modified return?” And “How is an excess of salary postponement at my 401 (k)?” And a series of questions about payments and distributions called “Is it taxable?” Link: Irs.gov/help/ita
The IRS last minute tips page also has information for people who are eligible for automatic extensions and who have problems paying their tax bills. Link: Irs.gov/newsroom/last-mute-filing-tiling-resources-avalable-to-help-taxpayers-who-still-need-to-file
Avoid mistakes
The IRS also shared tips to minimize the possibility that his return has an error.
- Check triple that your presentation status, names, social security number and birth dates are correct. The same goes for the bank account and the routing numbers, for a reimbursement by direct deposit.
- Answer the Digital Assets question in form 1040 and several other forms: “At any time, the fiscal year, did you receive (a reward, adjudication or payment for property or services); or (b) sell, exchange or assume in another way or a? non -fungible tokens (NFTS of digital assets).
- The agency also recommends using electronic presentation in paper presentation, as a tool to increase precision. “The electronic presentation decreases mathematical errors … and asks taxpayers to miss information. Opt for electronic presentation and select direct deposit is the fastest and safest way to receive a refund,” says the agency.
Planning ahead
Anderson, San Diego’s Finance Professional, said it is now a good time to start putting shape for next year’s presentation season.
“When reviewing your tax declaration, ask your coach if you would have your somewhat different consideration to be in a better fiscal position next year,” he said. “While it is possible that you cannot have a legal strategy session at the event, your fiscal situation will be fresh in your coach’s mind, and may have very useful advice to consult now and the end of the year.”
Not only do you put your tax statement in a drug, Anderson added. “The biggest problem we see is that people do not think about taxes until this time next year. Most tax expert movements must be done before December 31.”
