Last Day to File Taxes

Tax professionals are really busy on April 18.

Although it's down to the wire, be sure you take the time to double check things like your social security number and that you signed and dated the form.

Those common mistakes can delay a refund.

And if your return is complicated file an extension.

They are usually granted automatically, and you don't have to explain why you need it...

The key though is you have to file for that extension before midnight.

This is the same time tax returns need to be postmarked or downloaded.
