(KFVS) - The Missouri Department of Revenue is providing relief from possible penalties to farmers and fishermen who have not filed and paid their state income taxes by March 1.

According to the department, farmers and fishermen who choose not to make quarterly estimated income tax payments must normally file their returns and pay the full amount of tax due by March 1.

If the deadline is missed, they could be subject to penalties. However, this year the late enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act by the U.S. Congress shortened the time period the Internal Revenue Service could accept tax returns. The result of this situation is that the IRS will consider the tax returns from farmers and fishermen to be timely until April 15, even if they make quarterly estimated payments. The Missouri Department of Revenue has also decided not to impose any underpayment penalties for missing the March 1 deadline.

(KFVS) - The 2013 Show-Me Green Sales Tax Holiday would be a good time to replace your old, energy-hogging appliances.

During the seven-day period of April 19-25, you can buy a qualifying Energy Star refrigerator, clothes washer, water heaters, etc., and skip the state sales tax (up to $1,500 per appliance). It’s also another good reason to shop locally, as some cities including Perryville, Jackson and Ste. Genevieve are also waiving the city sales tax.

Qualifying appliances include the following:

• Clothes washers
• Heat pump water heaters
• Dishwashers
• Air conditioners
• Furnaces
• Heat pumps
• Refrigerators
• Freezers
