The tax deadline is approaching on the 15th and we’re here to help you get your money and most importantly, avoid jail.
First off, you can turn your tax files in electronically on the IRS website. If you plan on mailing them in instead, find out if a post office near you will be open late on the 15th by going to USPS website. If you are mailing them in, you’re envelope must be postmarked by April 15th so the IRS can consider them on time.
