Now that 2009 has been left behind for 2010 Businesses and Individuals are required to file tax returns.

The follwoing are due dates for various returns:

Form 1040 - Individual Tax Return

Due date April 15
 

If you cannot file by the due date of your return, then you can request an extension of time to file. However, an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. You will owe interest on any past–due tax and you may be subject to a late–payment penalty if payment is not made timely. To receive an automatic 6-month extension of time to file your return, you can file Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, by the due date of your return.
