An important resource in this matter is Circular 230 , a publication that regulates practice before the IRS for attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents.

The tax due date for most individual tax returns this year is April 18. If you are unable to complete your return to file by April 18, you can file for an extension to submit your return by October 17. However, the extension does not cover the payment of the tax due. The taxes need to be paid by April 18, or you will be assessed interest and penalties, and if the correct payments are not made, it is possible that the extension will not be accepted, and late filing penalties will also be due.
