Important Due Dates of Income Tax, e-TDS/TDS and Others For the Year 2011-12

Friends, Every Tax payee always remember the following important dates for Income Tax Return Filing. This may sound unbelievable to you, but I do not own a calendar. What’s more is that I don’t even own a watch! But come on, my computer and phone function as both of those things. Who really needs the paper anymore, right? The tax due dates, are one of those important things that you should ask someone about if you don’t know. How can people be expected to remember something like that in the middle of the millions of other things they have to remember.

But if you file late, you may end up paying hundreds of dollars more than you would have had to in the first place. It is important to pay attention to tax due dates. Preventable tragedies are often the most tragic. So file on time! Also, file as early as you can, because the longer you wait to get that chore done, the longer it might take to actually process everything to completion. There might even be a mistake which further delays your situation or even makes you look suspicious in the wizened eyes of IRS folk.

Most varieties of taxpayers are required to have their tax returns filed by the second week of April (plus or minus a few days, differing year to year). If you’ve filed for an extension or had to work out some sort of payment regimen, then you will be given a later tax due date in the summer by which you will have to have X amount of fees paid.

If you are self employed or have quarterly related taxes to file, then January 18th is your tax due date. Seriously don’t shoot yourself in the foot by being lazy.Normally, when you use an online tax service like TurboTax Online, you can expect your federal and state refunds (if you’re getting one) in as little as 10 days. This is possible with their e-file and direct deposit options.
