Tax Deadline Looms: Not Ready? Request an Extension

The Internal Revenue Service says taxpayers who need more time to file don't need to panic.

Peachtree Corners residents: 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 Oct. 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.
