Tax Forms for Tax Year 2016

You can no longer eFile a 2016 Federal or State Income Tax Return online. Mail-in instructions are below as well as fillable online forms. You can no longer claim 2016 Tax Refunds: read about unclaimed tax refunds.

Important: if you owe taxes, you will face a late filing and payment penalty unless you file a tax extension by April 15 and eFile by Oct. 15. Late payment penalties apply until you have paid all your taxes, however, they are usually less than late filing penalties. eFileIT on eFile.com.
