Olivia, a calendar year taxpayer, does not file her 2013 return until December 12, 2014. At this point, she pays the $40,000 balance due on her 2013 tax liability of $70,000. Olivia did not apply for and obtain any extension of time for filing the 2013 return. When questioned by the IRS on her delinquency, Olivia asserts: “If I was too busy to file my regular tax return, I was too busy to request an extension.”
