What healthcare practice owners need to know before the extended deadline.
When is the October 15 tax extension deadline?
October 15 is the extended filing deadline for individual returns on extension, including Massachusetts personal returns. If your practice reports through your personal return, that date is yours. Not sure which return your entity files? Ask your CPA today.
Does an extension give me more time to pay?
No. An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Tax owed was due in April, and interest can keep adding up on any balance until it’s paid.
What does my CPA need from me before the deadline?
Reconciled books: bank accounts matched to your records, expenses categorized, and a profit and loss report that makes sense. If yours aren’t ready, tell your CPA now. Procrastination is the one deduction nobody gets to claim.
