Members,

I usually get a few new clients during the time that their tax return is close to the extension due date. A lot of the times, these are sole prop businesses and I don’t have all of their paperwork to estimate taxes owed. To avoid paying late filing penalties, is it worth filing a tax return that's numbers are not so accurate. Once we get all of the information that we need to wrap up the return, then we file an amended return.

Or do you recommend overpaying what you think will be owed for taxes and then filing once you get all of the information?

Please inform me what you usually do.

Thanks.
