He did not file his 2022 income tax return until December 4, 2023 (due date was April 15, 2023) and no extensions of time to file the return were filed. Below are amounts from his 2022 return:

Taxable income......................................................................$134,019
Total tax liability on taxable income........................................26,000
Total federal tax withheld from his salary..............................18,000

Paul sent a check with his return to the IRS for the balance due of $8,000. He is relieved that he has completed his filing requirement for 2022 and has met his financial obligation to the government for 2022.
