Tax Deadline is Here — Last Chance to Complete Return or File for an Extension

Tax Day is Monday - The Internal Revenue Service says taxpayers who need more time to file don't need to panic.

Can't file your tax returns by the Monday, April 15 deadline? Extensions are available. 

Those who haven't finished completing their returns can get an automatic six-month extension. The fastest and easiest way to get the extra time, the IRS says, is through this Free File link — use the free service to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension on Form 4868.

Filing this form gives taxpayers until October 15 to file a return and allows individuals to avoid a late-filing penalty. To get the extension, you must estimate your tax liability and also pay any amount due.
