As the tax deadline approaches, filing for an extension can be a smart move if you need more time to gather documents, complete your return, or explore tax-saving strategies. An extension gives you an additional six months to file, helping to avoid errors or missed deductions that could arise from rushing. It also provides extra time to review your financial situation and make more informed decisions, reducing the risk of an audit or penalties. However, remember that an extension only postpones the filing deadline, not the payment of any taxes owed, so it's important to estimate and pay any due taxes by the original deadline to avoid interest and penalties.
