Tax Return

As I do every year, I called my accountant in March to make an appointment to apply for a tax return just in time for April this year, and he said that although there were no appointments available at the moment, it was okay because the appointment had been postponed until May 17 this year due to the pandemic, so I made an appointment in early May and went!

Then the other day I received a letter from the tax office charging me for overdue taxes. I was surprised and rushed to check and found that Federal was postponed until May 17, but State's deadline was April 20 ！

Of course I knew it was usually April 15. Of course, I knew that the usual deadline is April 15, but I had no doubt that it could be irregular due to the pandemic ？ and I am responsible for taking the accountant's word for it, but I trusted him completely as he is a Japanese man who has been our client for several years and is a professional. I trusted him completely.

When I told this to the accountant, he was apparently "convinced" that I would have to pay a penalty and accepted the appointment in May. My husband was introduced to this person by an acquaintance, and we have been using him for several years, but he is not a very nice person, his fees go up every year, and from our point of view, if we had known from the beginning, there is no reason or benefit to paying a penalty to have him. There is no advantage whatsoever.

Finally, he yelled at me on the phone and was very upset, but that didn't mean he would pay the penalty on my behalf...

He said he wants to reduce the number of clients because he is a one-man operation and can't handle it, and that he doesn't know if he will do it next year. He said every year that he was not sure if he would do it next year, and that he was not sure if he would be able to do it next year. ！

I had no choice but to pay the overdue tax as it was a study fee, but the deadline may be irregular again next year and I am writing this to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake as me.
(I have lived in the US for almost 20 years, but this is the first time I have ever paid late taxes ！ )



I know this is long, but finally

I was wondering if this time I have overdue tax payment and I

I tried to find out, but I couldn't. Please let me know if you know.

Sometimes, rather than relying on others, it is better to check for yourself first.
I still think it is better to check the news and internet frequently.

＞ Panda received a delinquent tax letter, does that mean that what I heard was incorrect

＞ I'm getting worried about it.

Please refer to the explanation regarding the filing date and time.
The official filing deadline for the State of Hawaii is April 20.
However, the following explanation is provided regarding the filing date and time for the State of Hawaii.
The content is that there is no extension of April 20 as far as the official filing date is concerned, but
if the following two conditions are met, the filing due date
can be automatically extended until October 20.
Condition 1 is that you have a refund from the State of Hawaii
Condition 2 is that you have paid Estimated Tax
by April 20.
In other words, if the income tax return calculation results in a refund,
there is no outstanding tax owed to the state, the extension is automatically extended until October 20.
In addition, if you have paid Estimated Tax, your return can be extended
until October 20.
Simply put, this is the same thing every year, not just this year, and the state welcomes the extension of the
Refund because we are short on money. Even if you have more to pay, you can still file late as long as you pay more
taxes in advance.

If you still have not received a penalty, it is because you filed a Refund.
Below is the explanation of the State of Hawaii and their website.

https://tax.hawaii.gov/upd_4txpayr/#:~:text=Tax%20Year%2020%20Deadline%20Extension&text=While%20the%20law%20requires%20taxpayers,is%20due%20a%20refund%2C%20or
Tax Year 2020 Deadline Extension

After careful consideration, the Hawaii State Department of Taxation has decided not to extend the Tax Year 2020 filing deadline.
Taxpayers must file

While the law requires taxpayers to file by April 20,
taxpayers are granted an automatic 6-month extension (no form is required to request the extension) to file the return through October 20, 2021 if one of these two conditions is met:
1.
1. the taxpayer is due a refund, or
2. the taxpayer pays the properly estimated tax amount owed by April 20, 2021.
Taxpayers who are not able to pay the properly estimated tax amount owed should pay as much as they can to avoid additional interest and penalties.

In my case, I didn't meet the criteria, so I had to pay the penalty.
Thank you for the clarification.


Mr. Lilikoi
When I made my reservation, there was no such explanation at all, and they just told me ！ that it was ok because it was postponed for a month.
If an accountant, who has been my client for several years, assures me so clearly, there is not a millimeter of doubt in my mind, and this is the result ！ ！
I will take this opportunity to improve my habit of doing everything at the last minute.

PANDA My family has been asking this accountant for years. There was no explanation at the time of the appointment. When we went to the accountant, I asked him about the delinquent taxes and he quickly told me. I called for an appointment at the end of March. I was already told that April was not possible, so even if I had to pay the overdue tax, it was my fault for moving so late, so I figured that would be it.
However, I was able to make a reservation by the middle of April even if I called at the same time every year, so this year I thought "Oh no ！" but I decided

to do it quickly from now on ！ since I would not have had to worry if I finished it early. I decided to do it quickly from now on.
