Individual Tax Extension Services | CD Torrance CPA Richmond VA

Life happens, and sometimes you need extra time to prepare your tax return accurately. An individual tax extension gives you more time to file your federal tax return, but not more time to pay any taxes owed. At CD Torrance and Associates CPA, we help individuals across Richmond, Henrico, Glen Allen, Midlothian, and beyond secure their IRS extension while ensuring you remain compliant and stress-free. Our process is rooted in transparency and education. We work with you to determine if an extension is the right move for your situation, explain the impact on your payment deadlines, and ensure all extension filings are paired with thorough tax preparation. Extensions are never offered as a stand-alone service; our team files your extension only when we are also preparing your return, providing end-to-end accuracy and peace of mind.

Missing a tax deadline can result in costly IRS penalties and unnecessary stress. As a CPA firm led by Katie Torrance-Rochttis, with over 20 years of financial expertise and deep roots in Richmond, we understand the unique needs of local residents and the importance of personalized support. Our clients benefit from accurate, on-time extension filings and clear communication about payment obligations. We guide you through the entire extension process, helping you avoid common mistakes and set you up for a complete, compliant return later in the year. Whether you’re managing a busy schedule, waiting on essential documents, or handling complex financial circumstances, our team offers both virtual and in-person consultations. Our reputation is backed by a 5-star Google rating and a commitment to client education, making us a trusted partner in the Metro Richmond area.

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to assess your specific filing situation and determine the best course of action. We clarify what an extension will and will not do: while you get extra time to file, any taxes owed must still be paid by the original IRS deadline to avoid penalties. We then handle the IRS Form 4868 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) on your behalf as part of your comprehensive tax preparation package. Throughout the process, we provide clear timelines, document checklists, and ongoing updates. For clients in Henrico, Glen Allen, Midlothian, or out of state, appointments are available at our Gayton Road office or virtually. Our team remains available year-round for any questions, ensuring you never feel left in the dark about your tax situation. With CD Torrance and Associates CPA, you can trust that your extension and return are managed with precision and care.
