Frequently Asked Questions
What is the October 15, 2026 tax deadline?
October 15, 2026 is generally the extended filing deadline for eligible 2025 individual federal income tax returns. Some taxpayers have different deadlines because of disaster relief, living overseas, or other rules.
Does a tax extension give me more time to pay?
Generally, no. An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Interest and late-payment penalties can apply to tax not paid by the original April deadline.
What if I cannot finish my tax return by October 15?
Generally, it's best to file as soon as you can. Which penalties, interest and options apply depends on your circumstances.
Can you help with self-employment or 1099 income?
Yes. I work with self-employed taxpayers, independent contractors, freelancers, and gig workers, including rideshare and delivery drivers.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The initial 10-minute consultation offered through October 15 is free and has no obligation. Tax preparation and other professional services are separately charged.
Can AUS Tax Service help if I live outside Michigan?
Yes. AUS Tax Service serves clients nationwide remotely, subject to the requirements of each engagement.
