TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY TO EITHER FILE YOUR I-R-S TAX RETURN….OR FILE FOR AN EXTENSION…..EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE IRS WEBSITE TODAY. TAX DAY FALLS ON APRIL 17 THIS YEAR BECAUSE APRIL 15 WAS A SUNDAY AND APRIL 16 WAS EMANCIPATION DAY, A HOLIDAY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE I-R-S TYPICALLY RECOMMENDS THAT TAXPAYERS USE ELECTRONIC FILING TO AVOID COMMON MISTAKES, HOWEVER WITH THE WEBSITE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, PEOPLE MAY WANT TO MAIL THEIR RETURNS INSTEAD. THEY NEED TO BE POSTMARKED BY THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY…..AND THAT’S TECHNICALLY JUST MINUTES AWAY. WE’VE HEAR THAT OfficialPayments.com MAY WORK…. FOR THOSE WHO STILL WANT TO TRY AND FILE ELECTRONICALLY.
