Today is the deadline to file your 2023 Federal income taxes.  Also, it is the deadline to file your 2023 Georgia income tax return.  According to the IRS, around 68% of taxpayers have already filed their tax returns, but for those who have procrastinated, you have until 11:59 PM tonight to file.  If you just aren’t ready and cannot file your taxes today, you can file Form 4868 to get an automatic six-month extension to file.  This is only a filing extension.  If you owe taxes, you will still need to send a payment to the IRS before midnight tonight in order to avoid penalties and interest.   If you are expecting money back from the government – the IRS says the average tax refund this year is around $3,000.
