The first sentence is correctly punctuated with a comma separating the independent clause ("Brenda filed her income tax return") and the dependent clause ("although it was late"). The second sentence lacks punctuation which joins the two clauses together, making it a run-on sentence. The third sentence uses a semicolon which separates the two clauses too excessively and changes the meaning of the sentence.
