If you have not filed your taxes yet, today is the day to handle it.
April 15 is the federal tax deadline for most individual taxpayers. That means returns must be filed and any taxes owed must be paid by midnight.
If you are not ready to file, you can request an extension through the Internal Revenue Service. This will give you until October 15 to submit your return.
However, it is important to remember that an extension only gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Any estimated taxes owed still need to be paid today to avoid penalties and interest.
For those who still need help, the IRS website offers tools and resources to guide you through the process.
Tax season can be stressful, but taking action now can help you avoid bigger issues later.
Whether you are filing today or requesting an extension, the key is to not ignore the deadline.
