Tax Filing Deadline A Few Hours Away

The deadline to file your tax returns is today. Filers have until 12 midnight tonight to file their federal taxes.

If you can’t file your return by the deadline then you should file for a six month extension by midnight tonight using form 4868 which can be downloaded from the IRS website or can be filed electronically through tax preparation software or sent through the mail. This will give you a 6 month extension to file your tax returns until October 15th. Filing an extension does not forgive any taxes you may owe and interest will be due on any amounts not paid by April 15th.

If you fail to file your return by the end of tonight, you will not receive your economic economic stimulus payment according to the published IRS Rebate Calendar. Your payment will be delayed and won’t be received until after your 2007 federal income tax return is processed.

Many post offices will stay open late tonight to accommodate the rush of last minute filers., many will stay open until midnight. Contact the US Postal Service at 1-800-USPS to find out the names/location of post offices with extended hours.

Be sure to check out the article we wrote last month on the Economic Stimulus payments to find out when you should expect to receive your rebate check should you qualify.

Happy Filing!

Until next time,
