Question: How Can I File my 2007 Tax Return?

I just found out from a friend that I can file last year’s tax return that I didn’t get to turn in last year. It’s a long story, but I had filed for an extension to the April 15 deadline last year. So on October 15, the day of the deadline for the extension (yes, I know, I’m a procrastinator), I was trying to complete my return online with Turbotax, but when I finally finished, I hit “Send” and the only thing that came back was a message saying, “The last day to file was October 15, 2008. I couldn’t believe it. It was exactly October 15th, a little before 9pm, and yet this message was saying that the date had passed. Needless to say, my e-mail to TurboTax went unanswered. So that’s why I didn’t get to file my return last year. Anyway, I just found my 2007 W-2 forms. How can I file last year’s return?

Answer: You have three years to file a tax return/correct a return… there will be penalties if you owe money and did not file an extension and things like that but no it is not October 15th 2008!!!

Call the IRS they are very helpful and can direct to you to the correct forms, and give you reliable information!

Question: Are Astronauts required to file tax return?

I want to be an astronaut (hopefully after I finish this community college some day). So when I go on NASA space shuttle mission that lasts for years, are they expecting me to file a tax return when I return to Earth. I wasn’t even living in the world, I wasn’t using your streets, food or drink. What if the shuttle’s return to Earth was delayed after April 15 due (tax due date) due to solar flares or bad weather prevented the safe reentry of the space shuttle?
I don’t think I should be held liable!

Question: how do you file for your 2006 tax return since i missed the deadline last year.?

i live in calif if that matters. and can i also file it online ?
i want to file,but im asking how to go about it?

Answer: You can’t file it online, you’ll have to mail it in.

The forms are available at irs.gov – go to forms and publications, then to previous years, then to 2006. You have to use the forms for the year you are filing for. If you use software like Turbo Tax, you’d have to use the right year of that too, not the current year.

If you usually use a paid preparer, take you W-2’s or whatever tax paperwork you have, to them.
