October 15 is the filing extension deadline. Most taxpayers who requested an extension of time to file their 2020 tax return must file tomorrow to avoid the penalty for filing late.
Extension filers who owe taxes should pay as much as possible to reduce interest and penalties. Those who have yet to file a 2020 tax return, owe tax, and did not request an extension can generally avoid additional penalties and interest by filing the return as soon as possible and paying any taxes owed.
Here are a few resources on IRS.gov to help last-minute filers:
Filing for individuals – This page includes a link to IRS Free File, which is available through October 15. IRS e-file is easy, safe and the most accurate way to file taxes. Some Free File products are available in Spanish. Filing electronically can also help taxpayers determine their Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and Recovery Rebate Credit.
Paying taxes – Taxpayers can pay online or by phone. If filing through tax software or a tax preparer, they can schedule a payment when filing. If taxpayers have a balance and are unable to pay it now, they should set up a payment plan.
Viewing account information – Individual taxpayers can go to their online account to view key information from their most recent tax return such as their adjusted gross income, their payment history including any estimated tax payments and their economic impact payment amounts, which may help in preparing and filing their return. They can also view the amount they owe; their payment plan details and options, digital copies of certain notices, their address on file and authorization requests from tax professionals.
There are some groups who still have time to file.
Special deadline exceptions may apply for certain military service members and eligible support personnel in combat zones. Several resources are available for service members and their families who may be eligible for these exceptions.
People who have a valid extension and are in – or affected by – a federally-declared disaster may be allowed more time to file.

Oct. 15 FBAR extension deadline nears for foreign bank and f

https://accountinginstruction.info/
The Internal Revenue Service reminds U.S. citizens, resident aliens and any domestic legal entity that the extension deadline to file their annual Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) is Oct. 15, 2021.
Filers missing the April 15 annual due date earlier this year received an automatic extension until Oct. 15, 2021, to file the FBAR. They did not need to request the extension.
Filers affected by a natural disaster may have their FBAR due date further extended. It's important filers review relevant FBAR Relief Notices for complete information.
Who needs to file?
The Bank Secrecy Act requires U.S. persons to file an FBAR if they have:
Financial interest in, signature authority or other authority over one or more accounts, such as a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund or other financial account located outside the United States, and
The aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.
Because of this threshold, the IRS encourages U.S. persons or entities with foreign accounts, even relatively small ones, to check if this filing requirement applies to them. A U.S. person is a citizen or resident of the United States or any domestic legal entity such as a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, estate or trust.
How to file
Filers do not file the FBAR with their federal income tax return. The 2020 FBAR must be filed electronically with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and is only available through the BSA E-Filing System website. Those who are unable to e-file their FBAR must call FinCEN at 800-949-2732, or from outside the U.S. at 703-905-3975.
Avoid penalties
Those who don't file an FBAR when required may be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties that can result in a fine and/or prison. The IRS will not penalize those who properly reported a foreign account on a late-filed FBAR if the IRS determines there was reasonable cause for late filing.
