(Washington, DC) – Today is tax day, and if you haven’t already filed, the IRS is making it easier for some. The agency released an update for Direct File, its free tax filing program. The update allows taxpayers to import the previous year’s information from the IRS in order to easily validate the current year’s return. The Direct File pilot program is only available to taxpayers in 12 states as a test this year.
If you’re in a crunch, you need to file for an extension. The key thing to keep in mind is to file your extension today. If you file for an extension, you need to file form 4868 on IRS.gov, which gives you an automatic extension for six more months.
