IRS DEADLINE
The IRS has received almost 100 million tax returns so far this year and expects to receive about 35 million more from procrastinators before their April 15 filing deadline.
About 12 million taxpayers will have requested extensions by the filing deadline, giving them an extra 6 months to file.
The fastest and easiest way to get the extra time is through the Free File link on IRS.gov. In a matter of minutes, anyone, regardless of income, can use this free service to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension on Form 4868.
