Late filing and late payment penalties are based on tax due
on 4/15, so if you did not have any tax due, you are okay.

Helen - Thank you for your reply.

Am I likely to be subjected to a penalty since I did not
timely file? (All tax due was paid by April 15.) If
affirmative, would the fact that I filed a Form 4868 help me
- like Should I mail the missing page to the IRS now with an
explanation?

Thanks and regards, Marco

The most the IRS could say was that you filed late, and the
penalty for late filing is based on the underpayment, so you
would owe NO Penalty.

Sorry, Marco, you did not timely file your return since you
did not sign it. You just have to sit and wait until Uncle
returns it back for signature.

A few days after timely filing my completed 2003 Form 1040
package and paying all tax due, I discovered that I had left
the signature page (page 2 of F1040) in my scanner so it did
not get mailed with the rest of the return.

As yet, I have not heard anything from the IRS.

If I do nothing, can the IRS accuse me of not properly or
timely filing? And if they should, would there be any
penalty, since my tax was paid in full?

Should I mail the missing page or the whole return with an
explanatory note? File a 1040X with the missing page
attached?

Will greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, Marco Folsom
