The Tax Extension Deadline for 2011 Taxes Is October 15, 2012

File before the federal tax extension deadline to avoid penalties and e-file your 2011 return

If you requested a tax extension in April, the last chance to get your 2011 return in to the IRS is October 15, 2012.

If you let them get out of control they can end up being quite costly. Continue reading “The Tax Extension Deadline for 2011 Taxes Is October 15, 2012”
