I missed the return deadline — what are my options now?

Missing the due date narrows your options; it doesn't end them. The law allows a belated return for a good while after the original date, a revised return to correct a filing you've already made, and — looking further back — an updated return that lets you come forward voluntarily for earlier years on payment of additional tax.

Acting sooner keeps more of your rights intact: refunds still reach you, and certain benefits — like carrying forward some losses — reward on-time or early filing. Each later window costs a little more in fees or additional tax, which is exactly why prompt, voluntary correction is always the strongest position.

If a year has slipped past you, the constructive move is to file the best return available now, accurately, with the records reconciled to your AIS. We handle belated, revised and updated returns regularly — the conversation is always easier than people fear.
