How to File Late Taxes
If you are an American citizen and fall within the tax net, you can file late taxes, in case you have missed the deadline of April 15 for any reason. A similar option can certainly be available for taxpayers in other countries, but check about it well in advance with your tax authorities. It is always a good idea that do not miss the deadline without genuine reasons. For example, you are out of your country for a longer period of time or had any major emergency.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has separate forms for filing of late taxes and the taxpayers can file the taxes without having any trouble with the tax authorities. You must be aware that April 15 of each year is the final date for filing taxes for the period of past year, and if you have not, either download the relevant information and form from IRS website or contact them on their hotline to get the form mailed at your address.
You will just need to fill out the form and explain the reason why you could not file for taxes before the deadline, and your application gets as much attention as your filing will do in case of timely filing of taxes.
