杰克逊·休伊特税务服务公司首席税务官马克·斯蒂伯解释称，申请延期申报虽然能让纳税人获得更多时间提交报税文件，但美国国税局仍要求纳税人按时缴税，错过截止日期将面临高额罚款和利息。

每年约有2000万美国人申请报税延期，但许多人可能并未意识到，仍需在4月15日前向国税局缴纳应缴税款。
虽然延期申报允许纳税人在10月前提交报税文件，但并不会推迟缴税义务——错过本周的截止日期将面临罚款和利息。
“联邦报税延期以及大多数以此为基础的州报税延期，仅仅是给纳税人六个月时间完成报税文件的整理，”杰克逊·休伊特税务服务公司首席税务官马克·斯蒂伯对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。

“这绝对不会延长你缴纳应缴税款的时间。税款需在4月15日午夜前缴清，”他说道。
美国国税局为纳税人提供了多种缴税方式或设立还款计划的选项，包括短期还款方式和长期分期协议。但如果完全错过截止日期，罚款和利息将会增加。

专家表示，无法全额缴税的纳税人仍应在截止日期前提交报税表并尽可能多地缴纳税款，以控制额外成本。
国税局可以处以多项罚款，包括未缴税款罚款和按日复利计算的利息，这会导致欠款金额随时间不断增加。

即便无法全额缴税的纳税人，通常也最好按时提交报税表或申请延期申报，因为未报税的罚款通常比未缴税的罚款更高。
“最糟糕的做法就是无视截止日期，”斯蒂伯说道。“许多人认为可以稍后再处理，但这会导致多项罚款和利息迅速累积。”

Tax extension filers beware: Payments are still due to the IRS by April 15

The IRS extension gives taxpayers until October to file paperwork but does not delay the obligation to pay what they owe
By Amanda Macias, Fox News
Chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt Mark Steber explains filing an extension may give you more time to submit paperwork — but the IRS still expects your payment on time, and missing that deadline can trigger costly penalties and interest.

Each year, roughly 20 million Americans file for tax extensions, but many may not realize that any taxes owed are still due to the IRS by April 15.
While an extension gives taxpayers until October to file, it does not delay their obligation to pay what they owe — and missing the deadline this week can trigger penalties and interest.
“The federal tax extension and most state extensions that piggyback on that simply give you six months to finalize your paperwork,” Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, told Fox News Digital.

“It in no way extends the amount of time that you have to pay the tax that you owe. Those are due on April 15 by midnight,” he said.
The IRS offers several ways for taxpayers to pay what they owe or set up payment plans, including short-term options and longer-term installment agreements. Missing the deadline altogether, however, can increase penalties and interest.

Experts say taxpayers who can’t pay their full bill should still file and pay as much as they can by the deadline to limit added costs.
The agency can impose multiple penalties, including a failure-to-pay penalty and interest that compounds daily, which can cause balances to grow over time.

Even taxpayers who can’t pay in full are generally better off filing on time or requesting an extension, as the penalty for failing to file is typically higher than the penalty for failing to pay.
“The worst thing you can do is ignore the deadline,” Steber said. “Many people think they’ll deal with it later, but that can lead to multiple penalties and interest that quickly add up.”
