Individual Tax Return Extension Form Due for Tax Year 2014
Need more time to prepare your tax return? File your request for a tax extension by April 15 to push your deadline back to October 15, 2015, or call our office as soon as possible if we aren’t preparing your taxes.  If we are doing your taxes, we will file for an extension for you if you are unable to get us your information by deadline.

Last Day to make a 2014 IRA Contribution
If you haven’t already funded your retirement account for 2014, do so by April 15, 2015. That’s the deadline for a contribution to a traditional IRA, deductible or not, and a Roth IRA. However, if you have a Keogh or SEP and you get a filing extension to October 15, 2015, you can wait until then to put 2014 money into those accounts.

June 15, 2015

2nd Quarter 2015 Estimated Tax Payment Due

Last Chance to Recharacterize 2014 Roth IRA Conversion
If you converted a traditional IRA to a Roth during 2014 and paid tax on the conversion with your 2014 return, October 15, 2015 is the deadline for recharacterizing (undoing) the conversion. Doing so could save you money if the IRA has lost money since the time of the original conversion.
