EasyTaxUSA E-File Your 2023 Taxes

Yes, as long as you file by April 15, 2027, three years after the original due date. There is no late-filing penalty when the IRS owes you money, but the IRS won’t send a refund you never claim, so don’t wait.

The failure-to-file penalty is usually 5% of the unpaid tax per month, up to 25%, plus interest from April 2024. Filing now stops the penalty from growing. If you can’t pay in full, the IRS offers payment plans, and we can help you request one.

Request a free wage and income transcript from the IRS online or by mail. It lists every W-2, 1099, and 1098 reported under your Social Security number for 2023. You can also ask your employer for a copy. We’ll show you where each number goes.

Much better. E-filed returns are accepted or rejected within a day or two and refunds typically arrive within three weeks. Paper returns take the IRS six to eight weeks or more to process, and a mistake on a paper return can mean months of back-and-forth by mail.

No, and filing is the best response. If you ignore the notice, the IRS may prepare a substitute return for you using only the income it knows about, with no deductions or credits, and bill you for the result. Filing your own accurate return usually lowers that bill considerably.

If you lived or worked in a state with an income tax, yes. Many states have their own three-year refund window, which may close before or after the federal one. Add a state return to your plan and we prepare it alongside your federal return.
