Important Dates for 2012 Filing Season

The 2012 tax filing season is almost underway and there are several important dates for taxpayers to keep in mind.

The filing deadline for individual taxpayers without extension is April 17, 2012. This is true for both federal and Massachusetts tax returns. The same deadline applies for making 2011 IRA contributions.

If an extension is filed, the extended due date is October 15th, 2012. If a business owner files an extension, certain retirement plans have until the extended due date to make a retirement contribution. This is an excellent planning opportunity for business owners who have increased cash flows in the summer and early fall and want top maximize retirement savings.

The deadline for estimated tax payments for 2012 are as follows:

Quarter 1: April 17, 2012
Quarter 2: June 15, 2012
Quarter 3: September 17, 2012
Quarter 4: January 15, 2013
